Andrzej Kowalski pointed out- "The price being charged for the craft fair, on the day, is £18 which includes entry to Kew Gardens - so the price being charged for the craft fair is an additional £1.50. This hardly seems excessive." ... So you don't consider that charging people £18 to visit a craft fair in the autumn, when they might otherwise have no interest in actually visiting Kew Gardens, not to be excessive ? When they can visit craft fairs outside, for free ? To say nothing of the argument that the standard entrance fee might be reduced during the autumn and winter seasons when there is less to see. And when the cold or inclement weather is a clear disincentive as it is with most outdoor attractions. Presumably it's as a result of seeing lower attendance figures for this time of year that some bright spark in the marketing department came up with the ruse of charging people an extra £1.50 - £18 in total for the dubious additional pleasure of visiting a craft fair which might be a total washout. As a seller, craft fairs which offer free or low admission charges are likely to attract far more potential customers - and thus can justify a higher participation fee. For others which charge unrealistic admission, as here, as a seller it might not even be worth turning up. At any price. I'm not sure whether there's a garden shop in Kew Gardens where people can buy shovels to dig holes for themselves. But shovels are certainly available in the Syon Park Garden Centre. Which they had the good sense, to open to the general public without first requiring paid admission to the house and gardens itself. michael adams ... |
