First time for us tomorrow as well, similarly with tickets won from The Times thanks to the tip off from another forum I frequent!

Apparently arrival time isn't so critical on the Friday, but we're stopping en-route tonight and will probably arrive 8:00-ish. Between 6:30 - 7:00 is supposedly the time to arrive Saturday and Sunday.

I'm going tomorrow. Not sure whether to get a lift with some friends or to drive there myself. Thing is, they aren't aiming to get there until about 10:30 So is 6:30-7:00 is a good time?? I'm only 30 mins away

i've just got back from there. we got there at 8.15am this morning and traffic was already starting to build.. what a good day tho, excellent enjoy! lewis and jenson are both there tomoro too

Yeah Friday was a great day, we didnt get there till after 10am but that wasnt a prob as they repeat alot of the stuff in the afternoon got some good piccys ill post up later. Have to say its by far the best organised event like that ive ever been to despite the number of people there I ddint feel harassed or had to queue for anything all day !

We went on Sunday and would agree that it was the best organised event we have been to. The facilities are great and there really was so much to see and do. We arrived in there about 8am already in heavy traffic and didn't leave until gone 6pm. It is an excellent event I would recommend to anyone. Should be a show on ITV possibly next weekend so look out for it.

I got there at 8am, barely any traffic at all. I live 20 miles away and it took me 40 mins from leaving my house until parked up. Left just after 7pm and got home in 35 mins, no queues whatsoever.

Was really good, going for the full 3 days next year as there wasn't enough time to see everything in 1 day!

It's gonna be shown on ITV4 on 26th July 4:45pm

Ditto the above - really need more than one day to see and do everything

Had a great day Friday. Arrived about 8:00-ish without any serious hassle, although the rush hour traffic around Chichester was only to be expected I guess, and eventually got away around 6:00-ish. Had to queue to get out of the car park but other than that (and the rain) had an uneventful journey home.

Defo on the calendar for next year. Would also like to do the Revival some time.
