Testimonials
We (Low Lands Legacy Holland) just had a great show. All comments we’ve heard from visitors were very positive. And yes, it was crowded some moments. But if people don’t understand that you can’t forsee everything …… never mind. Some people will never be satisfied! See you next year!

Came for the day yesterday with a party of 11- we were very impressed, it’s our first visit, but we will definitely return. There was a good variety of stalls, all very good quality stuff- really enjoyed talking to them as they were extremely friendly and helpful. I hope that next years show attracts even more sellers.
