I was so happy about this event when i saw it advertised on magicweek. As i am only 2 miles from Rowsley were the event takes place, i knew it was a must for me.. But was sadly reminded by the wife that its the day we arrive home from our holidays.. So if i was to make it, it would probably be a quick appearance, as i don't arrive home until around 3pm on that day.. Just my luck.

Strangely enough, when I checked my calendar to see what was happening on that date, I found that I'm due back from holiday that afternoon as well - very spooky.... Even worse, I still have no idea where we're going!

Hopefully the Peak Magic Festival will do well although I shan't be surprised if a load of billet/wallet/imp pad workers turn up misunderstanding it to be a Peek Magic Festival!

Haha.. That would be funny.. Yes, very spooky that.. We are spending a week in our friends cottage in Scotland, as they are abroad at that time.. Such a relaxing place by the river. Can't wait to get away from everyone..

I know its been a few weeks now, but as i was on my holidays i sadly missed this event.. Was wondering, did anybody on here get to go ?
