Please note dates for the 2016 GDSF will now be 25th August to 29th August; this covers the bank holiday weekend. For full story see GDSF website
Personally I can see the change causing a whole load of other problems, for GDSF and many other shows that use the bank holiday weekend.
Not least of which is the Honiton Hill Rally, which is well endowed with steam engines going to Tarrant Hinton. GDSF like Bridgewater Carnival if it moves everyone else has to accommodate it, so I guess that Honiton Hill Rally will shift into September. There being only four weekends in August next year. We shall see…
I can see why the GDSF organisers may feel the need to change the dates, but moving it to the Bank Holiday weekend will cause more problems than it will solve
