By back end do you mean before christmas?  Recently the Museum has been advertising out of season events so it might be in November...

Is it anywhere near Sutton? |
Would that be the Sutton in Surrey? If so the Museum is roughly 50 miles from Sutton |
Hmmm quite a way from my Grandma's then

You can stay over at Amberley if you wish. Either in one of the buildings (if there is room!) or a tent, car etc.

Then when it comes up with Confirm locations, select:

That's perfectly big enough MM, even to big. You could sit on the back of a Mamod SW1 on the M25 and still keep up with the traffic in the "fast lane"
Sounds good Si, only 35 miles for me |
