Olympia in September

[80's Girl]

In all the years I've worked in exhibitions I've never driven to Olympia, have driven to Earls Court loads of times but not Olympia haha. There is parking and according to their website it's £26.50 for the 23rd. I couldn't see anywhere that said it's free Sundays??

The train is really really easy if you go via clapham junction. It's about 3 or 4 stops from there and Kensington Olympia is literally opposite the main entrance.

Apparently on Sundays you can park for free in the local area on single yellow lines and resident parking bays. I think you'll have to be really early to get one of those spaces though!

Hi guys it's gonna be my first show! Woo! I m gutted I won't be able to meet chickafish and our Colleen nor Rhinn. I'm going on Sunday.

I am wondering how do you carry your shopping? Would it be a good idea to being a granny shopping trollyey? I'm thinking of buying the shellac remover if theynhave the deal on but maybe best to order the from home? X mona

 

[Rinn]

Mona, i'm going sunday and monday....i'll be hanging out at the competition area.

My tickets came today I sat and diligently seperated the tickets by their perforations and put them in a safe place in my handbag only to then read on the letter not to detach them and to bring the whole thing. DOH! Too excited lol!

Would it be a good idea to being a granny shopping trollyey?

NO. Definitely not. Wish they'd ban those things!!

Hello ladies! Am I right that there is no "offers" page on the olympia's website this year?

Usually we can get all sorts of hints on what's going to be on offer etc but not this year! Or did I miss something :|

I never had to produce any of that info for the stuff I bought.

At ExCeL the biggest queue was for Sweet Squared/CND - it was already HUGE when I got there 10 minutes after the show opened! People were in it hours. I didn't even bother going near it. There were queues at other stands but nothing remotely like the S2 one.

Hi all.... I have never ever been.... But I'm considering it this year, I only do spray tanning ATM but am looking into a lash course, are the courses usually considerably cheaper at the shows?? It would cost me £20 on the train, so not too bad. I would only be going to get a cheaper course lol. Is it worth it? Thanks

 

[Maz101]

I am hoping I can still come, had emergency operation Tuesday on my right knee and it was only arranged few days before, typical just before Olympia which I had been waiting ages for.... But could not turn this down as needed the op.

So if you see someone with a pink and mint green walking crutch (had to put it like that lol sound odd saying pink and mint green crutch) then that will be me... Lol

I so hope I'm up to it... Fingers crossed!!! :wink2:

Planned engineering works for this weekend

Tube line closures that include Olympia on sunday. You can still use it, you just need to travel on a different line that will be open.

 

[Studiosparkle]

NO. Definitely not. Wish they'd ban those things!!

How would you carry heavy things? The new Shellac Remover is launched there. x
