We went for the Flower Show. In itself nothing amazing, but ok. However, we queued in for over an hour due no management systems in place around Oakham. I felt really sorry for all non-show caught up in the mayhem. Then we were directed to the furthest car park. Not a problem in itself but we pedestrians then had to watch out for cars filling closer car parks. Logic and safety concerns would suggest filling closest first and working out until later in the day when and if back-filling was needed It was a boiling hot day with no easy access to water. People only carry so much with them, if any! Stand-pipes on the site would have made the best solution but failing that places that just sold bottles of water and cans of drink would have been incredibly useful. All in all it felt like it needed more thought. I regularly go to the much larger Heckington and it never has the or parking issues I saw at Rutland Good showground, nice and level with very good access. Had a great day today at the East of England Championship Show. It really chucked it down for about an hour. Fortunately the ground is well drained so the was not affected. Echo finished a great day with Special Beginners Group 2. Clever girl The showground its self was good. But the ground from the disabled parking to the entrance was terrible. It was full of big stones and was impossible for a wheelchair or walker to be pushed. It was dangerous for people with limited mobility. Went for the flower x great place x Great place for garden and flower loads to see covering all aspects of gardening the refreshment stalls could have been better arranged and needs more seats for people to rest as well as eat especially as a lot of the visitors are elderly Well organised flower show. Great value for money. Will definitely recommend this to friends and family. We visited on the Friday, the first day of the show. Unfortunately the entry organisation put a damper on the whole experience. The was built up in all directions and our SATNAV was trying to take us on a long detour to get out of the queue we were in to join an equally long queue from another direction. We abandoned our car in a housing estate and walked the last couple of miles. When we got to the showground we found we had to queue to get entry. A very poor performance by the organisers. The pre-booked tickets allow parking and entry on any of the three days of the show, a very good idea. There were very few examples of gardens, we saw three. There seemed to be a limited number of entrants in the produce competition tent, maybe due to it being the first year of the event. We left early to enjoy a pleasant lunch at Gate's garden centre which we thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend. Great venue but they really need to sort out the problem of into the ground. They need work with local authorities to keep flowing. It took nearly two hours of queuing to go just a couple of miles through the local villages!
