Weybridge meet-up July 11
Re: Weybridge meet-up July 11
Hi hi. Im on my way with my family on the concert in Weybridgde. We are staying in London over the weekend so I need some information from you people and I hope that you can help me.
When does the concert hall open on Saturday? We need to take the train from London and I think the train takes one hour so we need to be in time in Weybridge.
Does anyone here now when the concert will end so we can take the train back to London?
Isnt it right that this is an outside concert?
Where is the meet up before the concert?
I hope somebody can help me here and sorry for this stupid questions.

Re: Weybridge meet-up July 11
I will aim to meet everyone at the café, but probably not before 4.30pm. Latest forecast, dry at 7pm but 'heavy rain' at night

Re: Weybridge meet-up July 11
Exactly where are the café and the "main building", relative to the stage? It seems to me there are several average-sized buildings dotted around.

Re: Weybridge meet-up July 11
I wanted to go by train but from where I live, in south west london, there is a 90 minute connection so it will have to be by car.
Can you park till late in the retail park car parks? How far away are they?
I don't mind walking, but prefer not to in dark and drizzle, it was bad enough at Birmingham last year in the snow!
Is there an official entrance for the concerts for cars?.
I am still not sure what time it starts, I didn't get any insert with my tickets giving times, like some people did.

Re: Weybridge meet-up July 11
The timetable for the 436 bus from Weybridge Station to MBW says the last bus is at 1718.
Are the "shuttle buses" on offer these buses or separate ones that will be running later? Don't really want to get to MBW 'til about 1815-1830.

Re: Weybridge meet-up July 11
If you arrive that late, Suzanne Vega will already be on stage when you are making your way to your seat.danslenoir wrote:The timetable for the 436 bus from Weybridge Station to MBW says the last bus is at 1718.

Re: Weybridge meet-up July 11
Maybe so but I'm sure there will be plenty of others who do want to see her so I'd suggest you don't try to get to your seat while she's on!danslenoir wrote:Mmmmmm, have had a listen to her stuff and decided I'm not that bothered about catching her
