Default Chelsea - Working


"Bob Hobden" wrote after "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?


Take a look at...

there are some exhibitors here so contact some of them to see where they
stay or contact the RHS direct and ask them.
