It's normally free to park a bike at the show.

I have been told to park at the station cos it is a couple of quid cheaper, then it is covered walkway all the way to the hall.

in that case if you pre book the ticket it's £8 I believe £10 if you pay on the day

Yep, I have paid my £8 in advance to park the car, though bike parking is free I have been caught out in the past not being able to buy stuff cos I couldn't carry it home, hence I always take the car because I always come home with something
