Busfest - to take the Camper or to not take the Camper?

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by jools, Sep 4, 2014.

  1. We're really excited about going to Busfest on Saturday and will be going as day visitors. We're newbies to the world of VW and just wondered if anyone knows what the parking arrangements are if you go in your own camper? I only ask because our camper (Jessica) is a rolling-resto and it would be useful to be parked near to the showground for the purposes of assessments for quotes etc. Thanks.
     
  2. I imagine all day visitors will get parked in the day visitors carpark, I'd be suprised if there was seperate camper parking.

    I'll be getting there fairly early in the hope of not being parked too far away from the enterance as I've got some bulky stuff to collect
     
  3. Last year the day parking was just across the road from the main day ticket entrance so shouldn't be too much of a problem.
     
  4. Beaver got it in one.....
    Get there early and you won't have far to walk... I remember when we first had the bus and was searching for parts .... I bought a bargain 2.5 ton trolley jack from JK .... Then realised I had to carry it back on my own.. Nearly killed me ... Sure that's why my arms are so long now ... It was only when I got to the parking field that some kind chap offered me a hand .. God bless him

  5. I saw a map on facebook the other day and it looks like day visitors are getting parked across the road from the show.
     
  6. I've got a roofrack to collect, hopefully not too heavy but pretty bulky.
     
  7. Ok thanks everyone. Incidentally, does anyone know what time the gates open on the Saturday? I can't find any info on the website or their Facebook page. Thanks.
     
  8. Aparently it's 10am but I also can't find anything official saying it anywhere
     
  9. I'm just coming up in the T5. Hope to leave early to get at the front off the car park as said its a Gert big Un and a long walk from the back. Handy if you want to pop in and out a few times.

  10. Hope you all had a good show... Here's a few pics from today, all I bought today was some old woolworths beakers ... Great colour match
