  • Our fairs do tend to be busy, especially during the mornings (at most venues).

    We recommend visiting in the last couple of hours if you prefer a quieter shopping experience.

    Queues may form at the British Engineerium (due to the inside venue capacity).

    There is an optional queue-jump ticket (for a small fee) for The British Engineerium only. The ticket is completely optional and is there for those that prefer not to queue, in the event a queue does form. There are no refunds on the day if the ticket is not needed. Standard entry does not require a ticket.

    We often use ticketing platforms (Eventbrite or Skiddle) for event promotion where we allocate ‘free tickets’. Free tickets don’t get you priority entry, we simply use these platforms to market our events.
