I'm trying to get to the National Show at the end of November. My husband said, "You do know it's not like a County Show. It'll be nothing but BIRDS!!"

Oh really

Well, to bribe him along I thought I might make a weekend of it and stay in Stratford.

Any omleteer recommended places?

I gather there is a meet being organized around the show so I'll go hunt that thread down.

If you mean 'upon Avon' as opposed to the London one then I'm happy to help - Stratford born and bred........

My parents went there recently for their Ruby wedding anniversary pressie from us kids. They stayed at http://www.theemsley.co.uk/ which they said was really nice and clean and the owners were really friendly. They were only there for the weekend and had to fit in a steam train ride to Birmingham and back they managed to see quite a few places in Stratford, but they will be going back as they loved it so much.

Thanks for that. It looks nice and good value AND parking

Some of us are staying at the Stratford upon Avon YHA for the National, OSH - you could join in the fun with us... cheap and cheerful it will be!

Glad to hear you're going DA (sorry, can't get used to the new name yet!)

my parents just came back from a long weekend in Stratford, well it was actually a hotel just outside and they got the bus in, can't remember what the hotel was called but it was advertised in the paper as having an offer on. Will ask.

I'm surprised they found a bus - two stagecoaches a day usually We used to live just a couple of hundred yards away.

well I guess they got the bus anyway, I don't think they would've driven in.
