I went to this years and years ago - most enjoyable.

Glad you said that, as it's quite pricey but I'm quite tempted by a day out.

I'll probably be going as its the OH's favourite show of the season, not sure what day yet.

I noticed the prices as well. Sadly they don't allow dogs or we'd be tempted. She does like to assist but I doubt she's pass as a true assistance dog.

I assume it's the same Weald Woodfair I went to - was held up Uckfield way (maybe Ardingley ??) back then. Programme looks similar, anyway.

Might go as it's near but their web site is a bit lacking in information.
Coincidentally I was there recently and was somewhat surprised to wander through their woods and suddenly find some historic house reconstructions

Ditto - I've been a few times and it's always been a great day out. Mind you it didn't cost anything like that amount when I last went - maybe 6 quid for an adult.

Went Saturday and cor, what a belting day out! Apart from the torrential shower at lunchtime it really was excellent.
And I got a lovely vintage grass hook for a fiver

No because being a pillock I forgot my camera (and my coat...)

Hope you were near a marquee when the rain came down

It seemed a good moment for my daughter to make a tree fairy!

We'll be going, but again, not sure what day yet. In the meantime, this Saturday (15th) is the Weald of Kent Ploughing Match.

Cracking day on Saturday, but I pity anyone who went yesterday

We went Saturday too and it was very pleasant wandering around in the sun. Seemed a bit less there this year.

Yeah, a few stalls were missing from last year. And it felt like there was slightly less food this year, or perhaps that's just me sulking as the curry stall wasn't there!

I had a bunny burger. I won't bother again.

Sussex Sausages for lunch, followed by a goat dog a bit later. Both good

I think our next outing is this:

I expect that'll be the last of the shows we go to this year. Next seasonal event will be the Battle Bonfyre Boys extraveganza.

Thanks for that. I saw a sign as we were driving home but didn't get any details.
