RLBH Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Are tickets for one day only or the whole weekend? If the latter then I'll get a second ticket for my wife... She doesn't seem to think it's reasonable to spend a full day at the exhibition! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim49 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Tickets are valid for one day only and you will need the full day to go round the exhibition to be sure of seeing everything properly. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim We were at last year's exhibition for 5 hours, I'd have spent the full day but she had had enough! Just trying to work out how to maintain marital harmony...

Judge Dread Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) An exhibition you will enjoy, I've taken three different layouts there three times now and had a very good time, a very good time. Mind you there are some strange organizers wandering about. Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for Scotland, I've been retired again and only allowed as far as the Yorkshire borderlines but my dear wife doesn't know about the tunnel!
