Tonnes of freebies or tonnes of good deals? I wasn't going to go as think we've got everything but if it's worth it for goodies then I might pop over tomorrow, it's not miles away

Had a great day there, loads of good deals, not masses of freebies, mam bottle free on their stall with a dummy inside that’s cute, and wipes and nappies from Asda not much else free but a useful day with great savings on lots of stalls.

We went yesterday. Got the ‘big’ items I was looking to buy (travel system, Next to Me crib and feeding/nursery chair and footstool) and a couple of other offers I was aware of (The Gro Company have a bundle worth £180 on offer for £99). We also picked up loads of freebies - ended up with a calico shopping bag full of wet wipes, another of nappies, one of bottles and loads of dummies.

There are some things that are incredibly impractical but worth looking at for entertainment value (including a double cot that’s not much smaller than our double bed!!)

We didn’t ‘do’ any of the talks or things at the stage but definitely made use of the shop and drop off service offered (would recommend this). We ate in the Weatherspoons almost opposite Martin’s newsagents in the entrance area of the building - would recommend ordering food using the app but drink service was incredibly slow if you used it (there was a huge queue to order at the bar but they were focusing on drink so orders from the queue and ignoring drink orders from the app as a friends who met up with us (they were doing the This Morning Live show) waited almost 1/2 hour for 2 soft drinks!!) found out.

Overall, I would say it was worth buying tickets in advance and paying the £20 for Express zone parking which was miles closer than the general parking!!

Yep it finishes today...as it happens I've not quite found the get up and go to get up and go 😂 I'm sure my bank balance will thank me. Sounds like you guys did some good bargain hunting though!

It was great! I would suggest going on a Sunday! We got money off ex display models for a pram and car seat!

The travel system we wanted we have seen cheaper and they couldn't match the deal. We ended up with loads of bottles, nappies, wipes and a variety of creams.

I would suggest going it is well worth it. Next one is October in London!
