Its a two day show, (sat & sun) Best way to get there is fly into Gatwick on the sat morning hire a car drive there (its about 40 miles) up the m23 & m25 to Esher. Stay in a local hotel there are plenty in the area. Go to the show again on Sunday and fly home Sunday night. There's flights from Cork, Shannon and Dublin

Cool, but did you book the same hotel as me? The premier inn chessington! cause the price Britt quoted is the price I'm paying. you can also add on breakfest and dinner for an £20. So a room for two b&b + dinner is £106 / 2 = £53 each
