At Event City, Manchester.

OK so hands up, who is going to this show? and what day are you going on?

I went to the last one and wasn't overly impressed, so think I'll give this one a miss. But enjoy yourself when you go

I'm going with 8 other girls from my craft group. We are going on Friday. xxxx

Some of our group are going on Thursday. We didn't go to the last one as we are really only into papercrafting and were disappointed with the lack of scrapbooking goodies and the amount of non-crafting stuff when it was at Grand Central. We're giving it a try again so we'll have to see. The ticket price always seems excessive, even when ordered online. Gwen xxx

Last year I went with my cousin on the tram and shuttle bus and we both said never again. The time spent travelling didn't warrant the time spent at the show. We were expecting it to be better and bigger but it was exactly the same, even the stalls were in the same places.

The eating area was a big disappointment, there was more room yet fewer tables and chairs. There were more choices for food but each station had very long queues and it was expensve. I'd suggest taking sandwiches and a flask.

This time I'm going with my daughter and a friend on Saturday. We're going by car and having something to eat at the Trafford Centre later. If it's not improved, I doubt we'll go again.

Nope. No way. It cost me a fortune last time, and mother and I simply walked in .. .walked round the stalls, and were back at the car park within the hour. With no purchases.

I went a couple of years ago when it was at Grand Central, and like others was so disappointed. I even walked round twice to see if I'd missed anything but I hadn't! Not enough scrapbooking for my liking, too many peel offs. It's only down the road from me but still not tempted.
