Travelled down to Beaulieu today, sun out, lots of punters and only a few purchases. Plenty of gaps in the pitches and plenty of house clearance!
Still lots to see and had a good wander round the museum too.

Sounds like you had a worthwhile trip!
We go twice a year and have found that gradually the older stuff is becoming much rarer, especially for my pre-war stuff. There are still a few bargains about.
I often wonder why there are so many empty pitch spaces? We had a pitch there once, I recall it being well over £100 for the weekend. Perhaps that is putting stallholders off, that and the costs getting to and from there means you have to make a lot of money to break even.
We also noticed the growth in stalls just selling signage, a lot of it very expensive.
