"It will be our first time. Can anyone suggest what is the best day to go? Thinking a week day maybe better the weekend for crowds"
I've tried both and in recent years not a lot of difference. It's just not heaving like it was in years gone by.
It's £12 on top of entry for parking so with fuel it might be worth looking at taking a train?
Every year say going to look into that and every year leave it too late lol

Last day two days esp last was always good for final _eductions & dropping prices on things they din't want back at the shop as its been handled a lot or marked slightly. Dirt cheap! |

We go every year. But then it would be rude not to when we only live down the road, as it were .
Looking forward to it this year. Hope to be choosing my first proper bike (Mrs)  |

Sounds a bit trite but something that fits and isn’t too heavy, being a tad challenged vertically. The one I’ve been doing the direct access on has been lowe_ed and isn’t a bad bike (very forgiving!). A lady friend of ours has a nice Kawasaki that fits, so it’s on rhe list too. Planning to sit on a lot of bikes this show just to make sure  . |

Used to be a regular but not been for the last 5 years
Is it time to give it another chance?
Seemed difficult to get to examine some manufacturers wears without a lot of hassle |

"Free parking for bikes and secure and under cover."
Yea it is, but I've been on my bike before a good few yrs ago, it's getting any unplanned purchases home and call me a summer biker, I don't relish 120+miles on a cold (wet) ride home.  |

Hey guys!
Last year when I went down, I parked at the hotel next to the NEC, parking cost £10 for the day however you get to _edeem the £10 at the cafè, so win win really. I had a few nice coffees and dessert for the journey home after the event
Hope that helps |

"Was there on sunday didn't think it was as good as previous years and didn't think there were any real bargains like in previous years"
It's getting worse each year. I remember when it was in six halls, now they struggle to fill four |

Most probably how much the NEC charges for a stand
Plus you've got wages , stock ,hotel bills and fuel and food to take in consideration aswell
Last year a 3 mtr stand cost around 6k inc phone line and two lights and one plug socket then add rest of cost |
