How long do these events usually last? Doing just a day trip could work too, though it's a good 3-4 hour drive About 6-7 hours. There's no reason we can't stay longer but people just tend to head off around the evening time. I've got a 4 hour drive but I've booked a night in a cheap AirBNB, so can stay over and drive back the next day.

I was working on the outskirts of Cardiff not so long ago and honestly I would do an overnight stop. I can find decent hotels cheap so if you need my help the offer is there

Am I right in thinking you live in Wales? Yep, just outside of Cardiff actually If you could suggest me some decent ones (that has parking) that would be appreciated and I'd definitely consider it, but honestly doing 3-4 hour drive each way on the same day shouldn't be too big of a problem. I've done it multiple times to London before .

I've done it multiple times to London before . I have good news and bad news. The bad news is all the hotels in the city centre are £100+ for the Saturday night The good news is if you are willing to stay a few miles out, there are deals to be found. I have seen hotels about 5 miles from the city centre for about £50, and air bnb's about 10 miles out for around £30.

I've found a very cheap room on AirBNB. I wish someone had told me about that earlier but luckily someone said it on this thread.

Bury Village hotel have a good Saturday night offer on if your driving from a distance. £85 for dinner, bed and breakfast.
Then you have bury arcade club not so far away if your going to make a night of it.

I'm 50/50. I've said to my wife that I'd really like to come to the event this year. The only thing that might get in the way is as I'm in the middle of a project which lasts until early 2020 where I'm going to be back and forward to Kenya a few times between August and December. I don't have the confirmed dates yet but hopefully it'll be earlier in August I'll be away. If I'm in the country, I'll be at the event!

Would love to attend, but my first born is due on the 25th, so not really feasible!

How difficult is it to get parking nearby? Wouldn't want to be stuck carrying a tv for too long a distance
