Is anyone going to this? More information available now. Ticket prices. Not sure what other events and speakers etc will be taking place. It's quite a distance from me unfortunately and other things going on around that time. Ideal for people who live in the Midlands!

It's more than 100 miles for me so unlikely I will be going. That said, if anyone has been before and can recommend it I wouldn't rule it out. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on the website unfortunately

There isn't is there? I wonder if they're keeping it under wraps? I believe they've mentioned the odd vendor that's attending, on social media, but not on their main web page.

We're celebrating my dad's 80th birthday on that day, so I'll be tied up elsewhere

Sounds like a wonderful birthday to celebrate! Will there be a party?

 

[Lovelyness]

Yes, the party is on the 20th

I am a year late to this thread

but yes I went to this. It was fun! We bought some personalised mugs there and a 'hamster parent' t shirt + listened to some talks about hamster rescue and hamster wellbeing.

The organisers announced at the event that they're taking a year off. I think to get married. But maybe it'll happen again in 2026. Fingers crossed!

These are the mugs we got. We use them every single day

Ah it's great to hear from someone who went to the Fair. Lovely mugs! Did they make them while you waited? Someone from here went to the one the year before I think. Yes it's a shame they're not having one this year.

Hey, no we just paid and filled in an order form and sent away for them. That was still a experience though as I was so excited waiting for them to come in the post every day.

Small pleasures in life ey?

Special mugs are one of those things that do bring pleasures in life I think My favourite one got broken last year, so I had to find another favourite one.
