I dislike the Bath & West Show. It kills all local business in the area as no body in the area shops for the duration, due to traffic. I also don't hack out for the excess traffic on the lanes for people trying to ind a short cut.
Sorry to sound so negative but I have a business, pet and feed stores and it hits us hard. Especially with the extra bank holiday this year.
Hope you find what you are looking for though.
I do visit the Bath & West every year or so and to my mind is a big market stall without the prices to match.
I went on wednesday and to be honest I didnt think it was as good as it used to be. There were no horsey stalls facing the two small rings this year and what horsey stalls there were, were selling the usual rubbish, nothing of real quality. I didnt buy anything. Didnt think the show was as busy as last year either despite the weather being ok!
