Bargins at Badminton-what to look out for?

[djlynwood]

Fingers crossed Im going to Badminton for the first time. Im looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere and the shopping.

Ive heard you can pick up bargins but what things are usually cheaper than elsewhere. I should imagine that Joules clothing would be the usual RRP but am I wrong. Also, Im going to see if I can get my Ariat boots from there.

What bargins have people picked up in the past?

Joules have their own tradestand at these events so stuff is usually a little cheaper from them!

I got a nice stuben bridle for £60 there a few years ago. It was an irish tack shop. They have lots of bargains

Last year i got a pink horseware amigo cotton summer sheet for £10.

There are some good bargins but most of it is full price stuff but its just nice to have so much choice.

Im going ( we camp on the badders campsite for all 4 days ) and i need to get a second pair of equilibrium training wraps, a nice pair of gloves for dressage, and i fancy a new leather headcollar. I suspect there will be other thing i shouldnt buy but "need" ...... you know what i mean even had it but need it anyway hehe.

Im so excited- this is my 2nd year and i loved it last year.

Would that have been Holmestead? It's great for bargains! I was in their Tyrella store last week and spent £80

Not shopping exactly - but the people on the Knight Frank stand are always very welcoming with glasses of champagne if you can maange to look like someone who might be in the makret for an expensive house....

I work for them; - we are just nice people who enjoy a drink or few!!!
Though I dont work in the Ciren office. Though everyone there is lovely.

Handy being next to the score board too!!

If you can bear to wait until Sunday after the show jumping you get lots of bargains then as folk don't want to have to pack as much stuff up to go home! Wish I was going this year.

 

[lucym]

you dont even have to buy stuff...just get all the freebies!!!!

i think the joules tradestand is normally RRP:-( but there are always bargains to be had at other stands...there is sooo much stuff
o and enter all the competitions, u never know what you might win

 

[jellybaby]

LOL - I didn't get one, but then as I work for a rival firm (commercial surveyor) and had my work brollie I didn't think I would.

Know a few of the guys from their Bath resi office and they are great guys too.

Re bargains, I got some new ariats a couple of years ago for £50

They do have some sale stuff on the Joules stand
