Default Chelsea - Working


"Tim" wrote

I'm new in this group - looking for some advice for a friend of mine



She's working at a specialist herb nursery who have a stand at the show
and has been asked if she would work there for two days



Apparently accommodation is not part of the deal and as she has no friends
in that part of town we were wondering about the chances of finding a
hotel in the area - would they be booked up by now?



Any advice on accommodation and or working at the show would be great


Working at the show is very interesting if you are into plants/gardens, she
will have a great time if she doesn't work so hard she can't get round to
see other exhibits before the great unwashed arrive.
From memory, there is a camp site that they open for the workers alongside
the R.Thames and they arrange shuttle boats to and from the showground. Know
anyone with a caravan/decent tent?
