HI!

I couldn't make it to the harrogate show, and wondered if it might be worth going to the newmarket one instead.

Has anyone been/exhibited there before? If so, what's it like?

Hi Beadyoz Girl,
I went to the newmarket show when it was there in November last year.
There are 2 rooms full of stalls a very good varity of items to see from beads, storage, findings, lampwork demo, magazines and book stall plus every thing else you would ever need.
Well worth the trip we got there just before 10am and for the 1st couple of hour it was lovley then it started to get full. We were even given a goodie bag with some bits in when we arrived. There is a cafe but we took a picnic sat in the car had a look at the goodies we had brought, counted our money to see what we had letf then went back in and spent up. A good day was had by all so we will be there in june this time as the november one i will be working that day.
Maybe will see you there i also live in south lincs not far from you.

Oh I might have to try this one - not too far from me and as a horsey person I love Newmarket so sounds like a good day out.

I'm desperate to attend this one as it would be my first bead fair. So I'm hoping if I'm well enough to be there (if I can get someone to take me and push my chair about that is). Cross your fingers Very Happy

Oooh, better start saving.

I am currently gearing up for this show, I did it in November and it was great.

There are lots and lots of traders, and not many cash machines. Like a lot of small businesses, I don't have mobile credit card facilities. ( I take pay pal online with e-bay and non e-bay sales but I don't have a seperate card processing facility), so I can only take cash or cheques so it's well worth packing your cheque book along with the card in your bag.

I was very busy so didn't get to look round much but there is food available.... and tea.

Hope that helps and please do stop by. I will have three tables of twirly stands and trays packed full of findings. Smile
