    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 two

    Any entrance fee?

    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.

    Just that if I go on my own, don't see any people I know, I'll feel a bit out of place and like a lemon! Also being a bit shy, I find it quite hard to talk to women that I don't know!

    Just go!...wander about, take it all in, relax, enjoy the sights, the smells etc. If you've not been to the Philippines before, it's the closest you will get to it...No Jeepneys to run you over though.

    If you talk to anyone, it's a bonus...if not, just go home at the end of a great day.

    I spend so much time on my own, that it will be depressing to see everyone with people they know, not seeing anyone I know/chatting to anyone and then going home by myself!

    thanks for the info regarding the parking...i have a toddler with me so hopefully it won't be too bad getting him and the pushchair on the tube.
    Worry is like a rocking chair;It gives you something to do,but it doesn't get you anywhere!

    The tube will be busy but as the crowds are family orientated fillipinos im sure you will have no problems There will be as always plenty of others with pushchairs and young kids in tow
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    Spot on if you sit indoors or mope around then things wont change

    SEB now im sure most people will check the Site and if they facebook with you that as well before going either the evening before or in the morning or at the event!!. If you and others know what people are wearing etc then a good chance you will bump in to people.

    If you read last years many met up and had a good time. I will be walking round with the Wife, a friends daughter and poissibly a mate or two of mine and im sure during the course of the day we will have various other friends of ours meet up and tag along with and people dont know so well we bump into.

    PS I have seen ladies either in pairs or on there own there I know due to conversations I or others in our parties have with them

    Ok, you twisted my arm! I'll post what I'm wearing on here once I know, so hopefully I'll bump into someone! Reason why I've been a bit pessimistic is I've not had a great week with one thing going wrong after another! Hope going to the festival cheers me up!

    Where is best to park nearest there?

    Good stuff

    Well you have to end that run of bad luck and if you want to chat to Pinays trust me food is a great subject to have some knowledge of. The phils have many unique dishes which even if you have just seen will mean they see you take an intrest in their culture
