I dont know what to expect really... I'm already a year in london and never been in touch with Filipinos. So, I'm gonna try this.
Stop wondering and just take your butts overthere, you will not be sorry.
We went last year and enjoyed it very much, so much so, that we are making efforts to go again this year.

A very boring day out mostly consisting of drunk pinoys,undercooked roast pig and muddy feet if its raining
Oooohh! I went to one of the Filipino festivals a couple of years ago, and it was so much fun!!
Hopefully I can go to this one :P
I heard there's one in Bristol this year too. Anyone heard anything?
A very boring day out mostly consisting of drunk pinoys,undercooked roast pig and muddy feet if its raining
Lol been to a few where i loked like a beetroot by the end of the day due to the sun but yeah but a mare if it rains.. I remeber a few years back a huge swarm of flys attacking both lampton park and the high street
Very expensive dont advise anyone to go there too hungry unless you bring some food along your self unless you got deep pockets. We live near by and the Wife normally spends a sum which frightens me but many of the barbacue dishes she loves she simply cant do with her mates on a regular basis.
Also make sure you bring cash a you can imagine cash is king in nearly all the stalls i have seen and the nearest bank (local atms from memory are all those that charge extra) is a fair old walk u in the high street..
Be careful every year they try and charge you to walk in to the park which is a public space... Thy have no right to as far as im aware and when ever they ask the group im with we ignore them i think they justify it with a raffle. up to you but dont feel obligied
The Wife and Friends will buy quite a few dishes in tupperware and at a fiver on avg a dish its not cheap. Also make sure you walk round the stalls first as the prices and styles will vary dramtically. Also if on a budget wait till the end and you may get 2 for 1 dishes as the stalls often want to sell as much as they can on both days..
Very handy for those who wanna talk to the phill companies that many Phills in the Uk need.
Travel agents, Banks, remittance companies, Freight companies, Mobile phones etc. But remeber the people that man stalls are often sales people so be careful..
The shop stalls you need to be very careful of, gem up on the prices you get locally as we have seen remarkably cheap prices for goods and sometimes items priced three times a much as we can get locally
Plus a funfair full of Phills West London phill kids running round in huge groups
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
Not sure maam but maybe these people know

How come not much news about the Morden Fiesta on Saturday/Sunday 5/6 Jaune 2010? Is it still on?
Thanks
Hello lilibeth.Im from SE London too.Morden Fiesta is on.We are thinking of going there on sunday
4 small plates of lechon and rice £30. If we ever go again we'll take our own food
Wow ! My Gabby will come! Haaay!
Oh my!!!!
Please count me in but teach me how to get there by train.
What station please?
Did anyone go to Morden ? My wife got the dates muddled and thought it was next week
planning to go with my pinoy friends...it will be our first time so it will be fun.always thought of going there but never went so this time hopefully we will all go!
I cnt wait!definitely going there with my pinoy friends from Cebu!
What's it like there please?
What's on there?
Any entrance price?
The website link does not really give any details.
Thank you.
I'm well up for going to the Hounslow one. Is it reasonably easy to park nearby? Or is it near Hounslow station?
Parking is a nightmare. Hounslow Central Tube Station is nearby, I'd suggest parking outside of the immediate area and getting the tube for the last part of the journey.
yes been there a few times parking really is a nightmare
There will be van loads of cowboy clampers, imported from the regions, just waiting for you to make the wrong move
So the food's a rip off, the place is teeming with drunks and parking's impossible.
Sounds very tempting....
Parking close by is challenging that's why we travel the last bit by tube, but I'd say no to the other twoSo the food's a rip off, the place is teeming with drunks and parking's impossible.

So what can we really expect there please?

Thank you.
Hi, first post here
A friend recommended I bring the family. It's a way to go but prepared to make the effort. Thanks for the tips on parking. I will explore public transport options.
Does it cost anything to enter? I'd read elsewhere there was an attempt to charge but they weren't authorised to do so because it's held on public park space?

Wanted to go, but no-one to go with! Missed the one in Morden park too for the same reason.
