The next one, I think, is in Newark in March. Bit of a way from Essex, I'll grant you.

There is a wood turning show in Kent on March 8th but it is focused on turning.

Hi Steve
What do you want to go to a show for ?
If it is to see tools and machinery etc then the DM show at Kempton Park was pretty good ( and free ) but that is not until October,

Just getting into this hobby and currently sorting my shed out so I just want to go and see tools machines etc...nothing specific ....I will try and book a day to get to Newark..go to car shows all over the country so Newark is reasonably local..lol

Thanks for your replies .

Not sure how close you are to bluewater?
