Which is better for shopping HOYS or Olympia??

[GeorgieLee]

Have been to both many times but to see friends compete rather than for shopping, I remember getting some good bargains at HOYS but that was a long time ago.
opinions please????
ps: if it helps I will mainly be looking for: showing attire for me, a new hat, an in hand bridle for him, travel rug, snuggy hood (PJ's) and a heavy weight turnout, plus anything else I fancy for him whilst I'm at it!!!

I liked HOYS but there are def more stands at Olympia, so my bet would be Olympia. Have you already got tickets?

 

[GeorgieLee]

no but can get either through a friend so just need to make a decision

 

[GeorgieLee]

anyone?

I prefer Hoys for shopping - there are more stands at Olympia but not all horsey.

Also if you go mid week to Hoys it is easier to get round the shops. I never bother shopping at Olympia as can't face fighting the crowds!

I prefered HOYs as there were more shops x

Olympia is VERY expensive.....its the week before xmas and they use that to grab the "this is for xmas" thing!
Hoys is far better.....less stands but far more bargains to be had!
