I always look forward to the shows. It is a chance for a day out and a look at the latest equipment. Haven't been to this one before, so can't say if it will be worth it or not.
I will be there on the Tuesday.

Within the exhibition Hall 20 – self service restaurant at the rear of the hall, 0900 to 1630hrs daily

On The Atrium – DP cappuccino (Coffee Shop), 0900 to 1730hrs 10th & 11th, 0900 to 1900hrs 12th

J D weatherspoon - 0900 to 1900hrs on 12th only, currently not open on 10th & 11th.

I hope you find the above information useful
