The bitching has started on Sadbook already lol. They had the show at Boscombe in 1992.

I'm fine with the move, the only issue is the shuttlebus. It's a lot further from Swindon, as I had already booked hotel close to Swindon.

Boscombe Down is actually bigger than Fairford, and as AT says it has hosted it before.

I'll miss Fairford but DBH had to do something to secure the future of the show, a little inconvenience or slightly longer trip in 2027 is a minor hassle. 2028 I will book closer to Sailsbury.

They had warned everyone this might happen back when 2026 was cancelled. They said they had been looking at other venues for 2027 in-case Fairford was not available.
