Is anyone going to this. What's it like?

[Steve220]

Last year was utterly awful. Not a great deal to do, a few drag races, lots of Binis. I hope they took the criticism well and make this one a whole lot better!

Not worth the 3 hour drive then. I was going to go to goodwood and forgot to book my ticket😳

Is that the one at pod? That's a shame previous years had endless rows of proper minis in various stages of crazy
Including I seem to recall a spaceframed twin busa engined one that really took my fancy

Sywell aerodrome?

Oh ok maybe they changed the location or I'm thinking of a different event

Location changed last year. Wasn’t great. I’ve emailed to get a traders list to see if it’s worth the visit this year as there was probably two random stalls last year. Not heard a thing. It’s described as a retail village… how many traders constitute a village?!

I’m going to buy tickets and go as the weather is looking ok, and it’s on the way to somewhere I’m going anyway, otherwise probably would not travel too far for it.

Not sure about the concert based entertainment to be honest. With that and the Bini boomboxes and the fairground rides, a headache is likely.

Said strictly no dogs last year. On the day, dogs everywhere.

I’ll give it a last chance, but it’s no Pod. £15 each early sale I remember when £5 would get you and the passengers into a show… now we’re paying for a load of rubbish many may not want.

Minis in the mountains sounds are far better alternative.

[MiniLuke]

Nope. Was *******. More a hamlet than a retail village.

Phew. Glad I didn't go. Went to goodwood for a couple of hours

I have recently moved to the UK and last went to Minis in the Park in 2009 when I was over and it was held at Santa Pod. 
I have great memories of that event.

I went to todays event as my first mini event since moving and I was quite disappointed. 
Very few mini orientated stores, Bini's far outweighed the classic.
To me few classic minis
Little excitement down the drag strip without it lighting up on the board.

I was quite dissapointed.

Seems like a repeat of last year. Meanwhile, MITM looked epic!
