Shed Fest May 2024

[Chris tii]

It looks like you need a ticket from 9am-7pm. I booked the table for 7.30pm. Guessing the traffic leaving Shedfest will be slow, so this gives s plenty of time to get there. I did look at booking a ticket to see if there was an option for after 7pm, the booking calendar only goes up to April.

This from the C&M website;
Due to the busy nature of our weekends, especially as we head into summer, we require tickets for entry during weekends and bank holidays between the hours of 9am and 7pm. This is to ensure we’re operating at a safe capacity and offering the best customer experience possible. You can grab tickets for all weekend events here.
Catch you in the Yard.

Friday through Sunday are normally ticketed events in the evening, turning up in the morning and afternoon are usually grand.

Been to events on a Sunday and Friday evening in July, and both required a pre booked ticket.

I've been going regularly since before they introduced tickets. I wouldn't chance a weekend morning without booking now tbh.

Premier Inn Evesham is 30 minutes away from C&M, and going in the right direction. Though it's not the cheapest at £110 a night.

Theres a couple of cheaper Travelodges in the Birmingham direction but the parking looks a bit sketchy.

What we think?

I’d prioritise safe parking over price, so I’m good with the £110 or any other similar option.

Yeah me too. I had a look at street view. Doesn’t look like there’s a barrier, but looks pretty well hidden.
I’ll bring a steering lock. And maybe bring the car battery to bed with me.

Same here, wouldn’t trust parking in Birmingham

You should bring the van @Coog, the mini would probably fit in the back of it

This is the following week after I get married... She'd appreciate a honeymoon road trip and looking at old cars right?!

Tell her you're taking her to Mallory Park, it's just like the Galgorm but better (which technically isn't a lie)

Probably be more annoyed I'm wanting to buy another car to do said road trip in

@c_rad ‘s face when he pretends he didn’t know there was a car show on.

Falling over on some tickets which have been strategically placed on the ground

Ah yes, sorry thought the majority was for coming home Monday

There’s also the overnight Liverpool ferry that leaves Saturday night. It will get you home first thing Sunday morning.

The monday is a bank holiday.

 

[Chris tii]

Are we all up for the Welsh road trip home then?

I did the Evo triangle back in September, average speed cameras and was a little underwhelming, Snowdonia was much nicer!

Not when you work with the public

Yeah I’ve done Snowdonia before. It’s pretty epic.

 

[McFall1984]

I’m tempted to head out after work Friday evening. An home Saturday night
I know it’ll be a long 2 days but work hours is crap an if anything, change of scenery for a day

That will be epic!

I am exploring the options of attending this also.

Just and idea to throw into the mix when I use to book boats for Edition 38 I give Stena a shout and they would kindly introduce a reduced rate due to a number of guys booking the ferry it went from 6 cars one year to 41 the following year and they were more than happy to accommodate us. It might be worth looking into once everyone confirms.

Great! You wanna us on the same route etc?

I actually plan on cashing in some of my Tesco Clubcard points for a Stena Line discount. (Most middle aged sentence I’ve written)
