    I went last year as well. Comfortable shoes, lots of water and a positive attitude will make the experience fun for all. Don't be in a hurry, take your time, definitely pace yourself and don't forget to take breaks. This is an 8 hour event if you stay all day, so there's plenty of opportunity to try and buy. The organizers seem really on top of things this year and I look forward to an Excellent day in the Land of Chocolate.

    I went last year. Bring a large bottle of water and your patience, you'll need to pace yourself or get a stomachache.
