Yea I've been once or twice but not for a few years. Its fairly big but buying wise it depends on what your after. Don't expect to find much modern stuff, my last purchase was a set of 16" mondeo zetec (the nice 5 spoke ones) wheels for £20 with good tyres! I believe the retro parking area is through another entrance about half a mile down the road |

I've been a few times cos I'm fairly local - It's worth a trip, there's absolutely loads of stuff but it does get quieter as the weather gets colder. You'll still spend a couple of hours there if you really pore over it and it's great for buying consumables like cable ties, thinners, matt black rattlecans, blue roll etc etc.

Best to take a rucksack or better still one of those collapsable fold up wheeled trolleys to drag around and put your bits in, I bought mine from there. Well worth the trip, I'll be doing a 140 mile round journey to go.  |

I share a stall there with a mate. Only through the winter as we like the custom shows in the warmer weather.
Yes, there's a lot of bike stuff, but there's a lot of car stuff too. (we do car spares, books and models)
It's always busy if the weather is half decent and there's some interesting old cars to look at.
Well worth a trip.
Bob.

Usually go as its not far for me (about 30 miles). Have found some real bargains for the SIMCA collection over the years. Sometimes a lot of bike stuff but worth a look.
Should be there in the supercharged SIMCA 1000...It passed its Mot today...!!!

I'll be heading over this weekend, i hate leaving my car in the car park ('89 so not eligible for classic car park) as the scrap metal thefting vans are everywhere in Newark it seems, makes me paranoid.
