We go most years, it's a pretty big event with lots going on. We get free tickets, not sure if I'd go if we didn't though  :-\

I've been in the past and it was a FULL day.
Went to the Lowther one recently at about £13 a ticket felt that was expensive.  :(

We went last year and yes its a good day out at Weston Park , There was a stall selling sausage making kit , casings and curing stuff.  might pop along again for that and the gundog trials.
A bit disapointed in the range of gundogs represented in the breeds tent last year, not one English Setter to be seen. We have represented the breed there in the past with 3 of ours ,  :thumbsup:

I have been a number of years and think that it is probably the best value one of the year...
large enough to give a full day out with a good range of stalls/stands and cheaper than CLA


although wont be going this year due to work and going to Frampton the week before :eyelashes:
