European Woodworking Show - Cressing Temple Barns, Essex

[Newbie_Neil]

Is anyone going to the show ? It's on the 16th/17th September.

We're going for the weekend and will be visiting RHS Hyde Hall on the, hopefully, dry day.

I'll be there on the Saturday I think. Not been before, hopefully it'll be pretty good.
I know they have lots of demos, do they have some bits and bobs on sale?

The European Woodworking show!

I would go, but Ive heard theres a massive bill to pay when you leave.

 

[MattRoberts]

Never heard of it until now, but like the look of it and just bought tickets for the Sat. Thanks for letting me know!

660 mile round trip. Probably not.

Thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately, we've already booked for DBB.

Thanks,

I'll be going on Saturday. Apparently this year's will be the last one

 

[No skills]

No more Saturday's after this year? Wow..

 

[sundaytrucker]

I am tempted to go but three hour journey isn't overly enticing.

 

[monkeybiter]

We're making a weekend away of it, going to Cambridge on the Friday then Chelmsford [or Colchester, can't remember which one DTR recommended] and the show.
Improves the cost:benefit ratio.

Me too. Keep an eye out for me - I'll be the guy with a wife in tow and a squealing 1 year old daughter running around like a maniac

 

[Peter Sefton]

I am afraid I won'r be able to go this weekend but it promises to be a good show. Great shame if it's the last one

Cheers Peter

Tell me about it. The prospect of six-day weeks has, quite honestly, got me a little bit panicked :shock:

 

[monkeybiter]

That's nothing, my memory's so bad I've no yesterdays for years.

Ohhhh..... I don't live far from Essex. Its at the end of my road in fact. Just close enough to keep an eye on it in case it causes trouble. Just been out to the van to check my schedule. Weekend free! Will phone the Boss to check I can use the van. If so I will book a ticket tomorrow. Happy days.

I plan to go on the Saturday. I went to the last one and thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

[toolsntat]

Do we know the folks who put it together?
Wouldn't mind doing a micro display and showing people a few bits and pieces :wink:
Cheers

Andy,
Have a word with Richard Arnold, who I understand is exhibiting so he will know the routine.
