Review title : Good day out for the whole family, added by : Lisa (17/10/2011)
Event reviewed : 15-16 Oct: The Robin Hood Game and Country Show
"We took our 2 young children and our dog to this event and had a great time.
Most of the stalls and attractions were outside, so we were lucky that the weather was good but there were indoor pavillions as well, so it wouldn't have been a disaster if it had rained. There was so much to see and do that we struggled to get around everything! As well as stalls selling country gear - hats, coats, wellies etc - at very reasonable prices, there were lots of pet-related items for sale. A real bonus was being able to go somewhere that we could take the dog for the day.
There were plenty of things for the whole family to see and do and we all had a great day, as well as plenty to eat!
Highly recommended day out.

Review title : And free tickets too!, added by : Gill (18/04/2011)
Event reviewed : 20th - 22nd April 2012: Newark Garden Show
"Being a lucky winner of two tickets to the Garden Show, courtesy of this website, a friend and I set off for the Newarke Show ground intending to make the most of the day. We were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get there - although we did try to get in the entrance we usually use when we go to the Antiques and Collectors Fairs, which was shut, but we easily got to the right one.
We were greeted by live music from a trio playing Jazz and were given free tickets to another event coming up later in the year, teabags, sweetners and a breakfast cereal!
The layout was good and easily walked around in a couple of hours; we were spoilt for choice for tasty snacks (we tried the Lincolnshire footlong sausage baguette - wonderful). We browsed around the stalls and displays, bought the odd plant or two (and had to return to the car to off-load shopping and start again). One slight quibble in that the stamp that you get when you go out of the grounds and want to come back in again, said Antique - we tried not to take it personally.
We were fortunate that the weather was very kind to us and the stallholders ; we loved the exotic bird stand, had to stop for a very tasty cup cake, tried cheeses, sausages, baklava and other wonderful delights.
It was a really nice day out, the sort that we would have happily bought tickets for, and the carparking is free. Forget the crowded NECand their extortionate parking charges, come to the Newark Garden Show instead and have the time to actually be able to look at/get near everything.
Thanks, we will definately be back"
