forest of dean redneck 12,023 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 At £30 on gate ticket no , it was £25 up to online last night ? I find once you been once you can miss it for couple of years and also it’s to commercialised now with more stalls selling stuff aimed for the travelers like swanky looking bedding . when I was a kid my parents took me nearly every year and there was more auto jumble stalls and army surplus stalls etc . its all overpriced as well and some of that is due to the fees having to be paid . The Oliver family have got greedy I feel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I get offered free ticket every year to help a chap with his steam engine but I can’t afford 5 days there 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
