Is anyone going to the Big Bead Show (17th October) or Bead Society Fair (4th October) this year?
I've never been to the Big Bead Show and wondered if it is worth going to both. Are the prices good?

Hi Trudy, both are to far away for me but the big bead show is supposed to be very good, there are a couple nearer to home in October Beads and Beyond magazine have a show at leamington called Artisan and there is another show at the motorcycle museum x
Hi Jo, mmmm yeah I was thinking of maybe going to the Leamington one, I used to live in Kenilworth and went to Solihull College so know that area quite well
Yes, I too have heard that the big bead fairs are worth travelling some distance for.... but I haven't been to a big bead event yet! I do plan to go to one this year, but am not sure which.
Prices at beading/jewellery events are usually much better than on the suppliers website, so that's probably another reason why a lot of people attend these evens.

Ooh, I've noted those in my diary
I don't know if I'll go to both, but I definitely want to go to one. Depends how much money I'll have to spend on shinies by then! (Especially as I just finally ordered my new camera...)
I went to my local bead shop today and Sam told me that the biggest and the best is definitely the one at Sandown on 17th Oct. She is one of the stands that sells the semi precious bead strings etc.
AA route map says I can get there in 2hrs 16mins, but there is also a helipad for those wishing to arrive by helicopter. Oh shucks, I think OH has bagged the helicopter that weekend...
