Apart from the Orchid show ,which is advertised as the largest in Europe.
This is a good day out for all the family with lot"s to see and many trade stands also.
If ,as in prev years,on the Saturday evening there is also a concert with an old band as lead. Last year it was Boney M and the year before Showaddywaddy. Do not know who this year.

I still have my original sixties record player (although not a Dansette) and plenty of old records too. :-[ :-[ :-[
