Busfest - best place to buy camper items ?

[YellowHound]

I have asked in the Busfest thread but that doesn't seem to be getting much traffic.

Can I get some feedback please - is it worth attending Busfest on the Friday?

I am going away to the Lakes on Saturday morning so Friday is the only day I can get there. My reason for going is to talk to converters re some specific ideas on my van.

Is Friday really just a 'set up' day for trade stands? - the Busfest site carries a warning about attending Friday to this effect. Is Friday likely to be a wasted trip?

No there all there setting up before Friday, all the converters will be there early

We always arrive on the Friday and all traders are there and the vast majority are fully set up.
Best to leave it till Lunchtime at the earliest, to get there.

Thanks Guys - much appreciated.

Hi all (new member)

I am in the middle of my shopping list (camper) and was wondering if it was worth ordering what I require on wait to Busfest to see if what I require will be cheaper ?

Hi guys, we are thinking of going to this next Saturday to get some ideas of buying a t6. But we are in a car and wanting stay over nearby. Is it easy to get taxis from busfest. Are there any onsite overnight pods etc we can stay in. Can find any links on their site. Any advice appreciated cheers

It’ll be easy to get taxis from busfest. Just google the distance from your bread and breakfast And you’ll be able to guesstimate the cost. It’s worth doing even if it is slightly expensive for you. Have you got tickets for Saturday? I think you can buy them at the gate but I’m not sure cos of numbers.

We did a day visit in 2018, stayed in a premier inn and drove and parked on site for the day. Was easy enough.
