We went on Tuesday opening day tent section display was small and only Yeomans showing a range of 4 manufacturers ie outwell vango colman and sprayway.
The highlight though on the C&C stand was Julia Bradbury speaking and answering questions and hubbies having thier pics taken with her by thier wives.
One interesting stand was a camping and canooing holiday on the Broads which sounded Ideal. we both enjoyed the day and got some good ideas would recommend going also their were some good bargains with show prices on goodies, had to keep hands in pockets away from the credit card.
im going tomorrow for a family day out, my daughter looking forward to seeing the gulivars kingdom characters and getting her face painted and my son wants to see the boats.... i plan to get a cooker camping gaz and maybe a tent if i see one i like.

I went today and thought the camping display was bigger than I was expecting, plus with all the accessory stands in the other halls (Towsure, Tamworth camping etc) it was definately a good day out
We bought a big Cadac, can't remember what it's model was now though. We got £23 off on the Towsure stand & it's being delivered to the door free of charge.
I thought the Yeomans tent dispaly was very good, the sales staff there seemed to be interested in helping customers & we enjoyed looking at the tents.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
