Will any of you be going to the British bear fair at the Hove town hall this year? (Dec 9th)
Also can anyone tell me what the fair was like as i am thinking of doing this fair. I haven't done a fair for 3 years

Hi Vicki,
I will be going - not as an exhibitor, but because I am one of the judges for the BBAAs this year!
This show has got smaller than it was in previous years. However, with the demise of Ally Pally and no NEC shows this year, it may benefit from a higher attendance in collectors. You may know that it was taken over by a new show organiser a couple of years ago and they are making some gradual changes.
Personally, I love the venue - its handy for hotels, transport, and shopping in Brighton!
Hugs,
Christine
I would love to go but it is a bit far for me, hubby not interested you see will just have to hope someone from here takes piccies :hug:
Hi Vicki,
Yes, I am hoping to have a stand there this year. It was quiet last year but as Christine said, with the NEC and Ally Pally cancelling this year, hopefully Hove will be busier. It's the closest show to me too. I've got 2 bears to enter into the BBAA's and hopefully will get another one done for one of the other categories!
I personally LOVED this show last year. Even though it was quiet it had a lovely atmosphere. And of course I entered the BBAA's lasy year and won my category so it's even more of a special event for me!!
Hi Vicki,
No it is a bit too far,used to do it years ago and it was very good but I think it has dropped off a lot since.It would mean an overnight stay for me which I couldnt do. Would love to visit it if it wsnt so far,
hugs,Louise
