Why next year Shocked that's way to far away Surprised
I love the show, you can get the best bits in, in a day but would be better off going for at least two, the evenings are just as good as the days also! Cider, Freak shows, boxing ring, cider, music, bands, steam fun fair, cider, circus acts, cabaret shows and did I mention cider!
Does get very muddy if in the wet though

Last year it became the third most densely poulated place in Dorset. It is a great day out. Very, very dusty when dry (last year), a quagmire when wet (year before). It can easily be done in a day but if you don't mind dirt stay over and the night atmosphere is fantastic too.
Got visitors coming down from up north to do this this year. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

The simple answer is not all of it. However, given that 'all of it' comprises a very wide range of stuff, you could pick and choose the bits that interest you and make a day of it with suitable advance planning.

We've got tickets for two days this year, which will include a re-visit on one of the evenings to partake of candy floss, steam powered lights and dodgem cars Cool Darren
