Practical notes
Shows are numerous and scattered through the day: collect the day's timetable at the gate before planning a route. The evening programme is the reason most people come, so arriving in the afternoon and leaving after it is the usual shape of a visit. Operator's published enquiry line: 0371-22203006.
