It's the first time that the event has been held there...... I'd want to know much more about the events program and exhibitor's before I booked in... and it's very local to me ;-)

Better not as its my anniversary weekend. Bet I forget it closer to the time

I think it more targeted to VW Camper vans but might be wrong.

No it’s not the first event there. TT have done about four of these last year. I went to two, they are fun if you don’t mind the goings on of the VW crowd around you (Music, parties and plenty of Cannabis!) Totally informal gathering, good atmosphere and a separate area to the VWs but adjacent to Tuff Trek are hosts but not selling you anything, just a good group of all sorts of vehicles and folks for the weekend. If you like walking there are some good footpaths around the show ground and Ardingly has a couple of pubs. Pic from the first one.

Didn't realise this was tied in with the VW events.... I knew about them and TBH we tend to avoid the VW crowd on campsites... they held a "Truck Fest" type event there but again it was not well attended .
Used to live in Ardingly many years ago so know it well.....and often drive past the showground and can recommend more walks and local watering holes if you go again

Ye I know Ardingly well, cousins owned various properties there for many many years, so yes I know the many walks thanks.

Ok for those interested, you know what to do.
1) Chris + maybe family.

This is something I can try but with all the uncertainty surrounding me, I can’t say anything this early but close to that date, if all is good, I will try to get ticket and go in
