Never been myself, sure Dave will be along later. From what I hear, its excellent when the £ is strong, but at the moment the prices will be a bit higher than normal. You can bring snakes in from Continental Europe easily.
There are usually coaches that go specifically for it, again I'm sure Dave (Reptile-Ink) can help. |

Yes I have been quite a few times and should be going to the September show.
Bringing reps back by road is easy, just make sure you have a full list of what you have including latin name and always get a reciept from the seller stating that ther are C.B.
If you get anything that is cites registered then you MUST have full documentation provided by the seller or customs will take them from you.
It is very busy at the show with just about everything you could think of for sale. There are about 600++ stands in over 13,000 sq meters, over 10,000 people attend each show.
The prices arent great at the moment because of the poor strength of the £.
Coachtotheshow.com are doing September for £105 with various pick up points.

I may be on my own if I go this time but normally it is a friendly bunch so you should fine plenty to talk to.
Which coach would you be getting? I go on coach 1.
At least if I am on my own I can use the £105 I would have spent on a 2nd seat to pay for Houten in October  |

All tickets are the same price apart from Scotland which is £10 extra.
Yes it could be coach 3 then, it depends on what spaces are on the other 2 coaches as they all meet up at Ashford.

I'm really tempted now!
Is there a closing date for tickets? - Or just first come first served? |

When you pay for the coach ticket at £105 you get fast track entry and food all in the price

Normally all seats are taken by a few weeks before the show.
As for the fast track entry, you get the tickets before the doors open so you dont need to pay on entry but you still have to contend with several thousand Germans all going in at the same time.
You just need to make sure you are good at pushing, elbowing and kicking |
