Personally, i've found it to be TINY inside the hall. The last time i went (two years ago) I asked where the other hall was to be met by blank stares from the organisers ......... yeah, it was that small.

Its supposed to be better if you like walking around looking at other peoples cars as quite a few people turn up and camp.

I went two years ago and formed the same view as MikeR.

Does anyone have a list of exhibitors?

Two years ago was the first time for the "new" Stafford show (if I recall correctly) and the late notice meant that the hall wasn't completely full. It isn't a big show even when full but its OK if you live nearby. The parking field is near the hall so it is convenient to walk round owners cars because they're all in one place.

agreed, not a big show, but a good excuse for a weekend away in the car

Yep small show but the only one within reasonable distance for the Northerners (forgetting the Scottish).
It's worth noting that entrance to the ground and all the cars parked up is free. It's only the entrance to the hall that costs a tenner and 2 years ago when it was first revived it was pretty sparse but it's the last show I'll see this year so worth a day out for me.

If your 20 or 30 miles away its ok
Aslong as its still free if your in a Kit
Otherwise i'd give it a miss

There ain't no way i'd pay to go into it

Thought it was Very Poor last year tbh...

I went a few years a back, 160 miles each way and it wasn't great. In its defence there was a clash with another event and I think it was the first year there.

I'd not go again but if you're not too far away every kit car show is worth attending!

Feedback form last year was it was OK.

I intend driving down Saturday, camping and driving back Sunday.

Anyone know how much? I understand entry for kit car drivers is free, is that right.

Then is the entry into the hall free or a tenner as stated?
