Ally Pally Show

[TheDutchHouse]

Anyone going or rather have been before to the knit & stitch show ?
Any tips ? Insider knowledge of how to get most out of the event?
Many thanks 😊

I’ve been lots of times! Get there as early as you can and be prepared for it to be VERY busy. Comfortable shoes and a packed lunch will serve you well (the queues for food are mad). Go with an idea of what you might like if you don’t want to be completely sucked into to buying all of the pretty things that you don’t then use (felting wool, I’m looking at you…). Have an amazing time! I wish I was going!

I went today - everything PerpetuallyIndecisive says! It was very busy given it was a Friday, so I suspect Saturday will be heaving. Not much space for eating inside, but you can get your hand stamped and eat on the picnic benches outside as the weather looks nice for the weekend.
And prepare to spend! I now have to work out when I'll actually have time to use everything I bought. But it was a nice day out looking at lots of pretty things!

IT's tomorrow I'm going, I really appreciate the advice about food. It'll be great to be able to get some fresh air. Oooh have t had a hand stamp to re enter somewhere since 1980s lol
I'm only going to look and may get two balls of yarn .......

Yeah, right...!

I went for the first time on Fri and it was amazing. Going to be more organised next year and maybe book onto one of the workshops
