What to wear? Light, comfortable clothing. I usually wear cotton trousers and a t-shirt. Even in winter.
What to take? Credit card, money, packed lunch!
What to carry?........ Bag big enough for all your purchases. (or maybe not on the first day. I usually just have a look round on the first day.
Will it be hot in the halls? Can't remember ever being hot.
Will a T shirt suffice or will I need a cardi? If the weather is anything like it's been for the last couple of months, no.
Can you buy drinks? Yes, but the queues can be long.
Will I want to buy much? Well, as you don't have a stash, not as much as the rest of us. Last year, I made a list and only bought what was on it. Anything that you have ever thought you might want to buy will probably be there. It's a great opportunity to buy for your next project.
Do the stalls take debit cards or should I take cash? Not sure about this one. They take credit cards so, probably. I always take cash so I don't spend more than planned!
Will it be crowded ( Thurs / Fri ) and are there chairs? Friday and Saturday are busier, but I've never had a problem finding a seat. Apparently, there is more seating than previously.
Can you use cameras? Yes for most exhibits, although some exhibits and stalls have signs saying please don't.
Getting quite excited. Me too!
