I used go to the London show regularly when it was at Alexandre Palace, always a good atmosphere about the venue, lovely old building, but parking was always a problem, never been to Excel.
The m/c show at Birmingham’s NEC was good too, the truth is that the motorcycle industry cannot support two big shows a year, so glad the NEC show will carry on.
I dread to to think how much a day out at the NEC costs nowadays though!!

Aside from getting there I guess it depends on the event.

The biannual Caravan/Motorhome/Camping shows are less than £15 each with discounts through the clubs maybe knocking a bit more off. Parking is included.

I guess it depends in part on what exhibitors pay; lot's of 'vans sold when we were there last October.

The cost of tickets, getting there, plus parking plus fairly lousy expensive fast food at some days out puts us off sometimes,

But the worst thing is the overcrowding and the queues.

Even doggy days out are getting silly prices now.

Another one bites the dust, and unlikely to be the last over the next 5 years.

I used to like going to the 'motor show' at Canary Wharf 20 years ago when I was working in the area - free, and if you were lucky, you could even get a test drive. Got me pushed into the direction of Mazdas too..
