There will be lots of books and things to buy...so my advice is take lots of cash if you want to spend...or don't take any cash if you don't as it's likely that a lot of stalls won't take cards. ;D ;D

Wear comfy shoes and take plenty of water to drink.  Have a great time.  Are you going by train?

Many thanks to you all for your replies. We have decided that we are just going to enjoy ourselves, take some cash just in case, comfy shoes and plenty of water. And yes, we are going up by train  :D

Well we live a ten minute walk from Elsenham station, so I just wondered . . !

Yep - will be travelling up from Dorset with me Mum on Sunday morning.

Looking forward to the day out, but we've been a little disappointed with recent family history fairs so we have a backup plan if it's not that good - i.e. visit the Victoria & Albert Museum which is just down the road.
