How to find us!

Delays can be expected on all routes from "London and the North" due to long term road improvements on most routes heading our way.  we will try to keep this site updated.

​

There ARE roadworks all around the exhibition venue.  These do cause major congestion with delays of up to 30 minutes.  Please also bear in mind that it can take 60 minutes or more to get across the New Forest from the M27, on a Friday afternoon!
