5/5 The Travelling C. 1 year ago on Google
Excellent
Gifted
Irish
Arts
and
Crafts
event.
Better
than
the
2021
event
but
really
busy.
Catering
was
much
improved
with
the
restaurant
at
the
front
of
the
arena
operating.
It
cost
about
€16
for
a
sandwich,
croissant
and
two
bottles
of
Coke
Zero.
More
stands
this
year
with
the
upstairs
open
which
also
included
a
seated
area.
Great
samples
to
encourage
buyers.
However,
the
RDS
decided
to
remove
the
cash
machines
the
week
before
the
event
which
is
utter
madness
as
many
people
weren’t
prepared
for
that
-
sole
traders
and
people
from
the
north
who
had
travelled
to
the
event.
€7
to
park
at
Simmonscourt
Pavilion
with
a
courtesy
bus
back
and
forward
-
excellent!
The
Christmas
trees
in
one
of
the
relax/food
areas
need
Christmas
lights
-
they
look
as
miserable
as
sin
with
no
lights
and
baubles.
The
place
was
bunged
to
the
rafters
so
it
was
hard
to
get
around.
I
don’t
know
how
you’d
manage
with
a
wheelchair.
It
was
difficult
with
prams
and
particularly
with
their
owners
not
paying
attention
to
where
they
were
going
and
smacking
the
pram
into
your
legs.
Hardly
a
fun
day
out
for
parents,
their
babies
and
the
rest
of
us
but
more
space/less
people
would
have
made
it
bearable.
Toilets
were
very
clean
as
always.
Last
year
you
could
put
your
name
down
for
free
tickets
this
year.
That
facility
wasn’t
offered
this
year
:-(
