It's almost as if the forecast 'changes like the weather'.

Well-guess what....it was wet+++
However enjoyed roaming around and although I didn't buy anything I did enjoy what was there. Went to try out the new forest track but was turned away as someone had got stuck and they were closing the track!! This was on the Sat, feel sorry for those who camped as Sunday whether seemed worse  |

Wow! It was wet today at Kelmarsh,
Most of the campers went home first thing. Most traders were packing up by lunchtime. I managed to pick up a few things I was looking for. Shame for all that paid, especially the ones that travelled so far. |

I went today, 130+ miles each way and 15 quid to get in, so I was somewhat disappointed to find vendors already packing up when I arrived at 11am. I left around 2pm because the show was effectively closed, with around half the vendors apparently already gone and most of the rest packing up. It was advertised to close at 5pm so not really on and I wont be going again. If it was a knitting convention I could perhaps understand it, but I thought this was supposed to be a land rover show!
(No offence intended to any knitters out there, massive respect for your needle skills.) |

I went yesterday in anticipation of today’s rain, it was wet and very unfortunate considering the weather we’ve had this week, I turned up at 11 and didn’t have to pay
 , thought it was quite good considering, spent a few quid on some little bits, definitely go again Instagram; @gavin_walding |

Well, I am glad I didn't make the journey as I would have been well upset to have arrived and found it being packed up.
I can't blame anyone. Being wet is not great, and especially for the traders, if takings are poor, I expect they just cut their losses and went home. Very disappointing for everyone considering the beautiful week we had leading up to the weekend? |

Show was alright but security where either ott or non existant. We arrived late around 11pm with permission from the organiser we could set up late. Security where not interested in the slightest and demanded we leave or we would be removed from the event.
Following day we walked in and out multiple times without our tickets being checked. Live Promotions are just terrible and rather rude Show was alright though, better than last year. Got everything i wanted so happy days! Instagram @defender_ventures Empire Tuning - Agent |

We attended Billing for years but have never been to Kelmarsh so decided to camp for the weekend this year. We arrived late Friday afternoon and set up in dry whether but it rained in the night and most of Saturday. We spent Saturday wandering round the show in the rain with quite low visitor numbers. The show was not worth more than a day so when there was a brief dry spell late in the afternoon we took the opportunity to pack up and leave. We done a few miles, booked into a hotel and found something else to do today. We kept an eye on the weather and realised we'd done the right thing, it was a very wet day at Kelmarsh and, from what i've read on here the show was a washout. We arrived home to sunshine which worked out well for drying all the camping gear.
