Don't know, but I do know it always went very quiet from about 3pm each day - maybe comments from traders/clubs?

All the shows at this venue are generaly very busy in the morning / early afternoon, it tends to start to tail off about 3pm, by 3.30 to 4pm theres only the people off stands left so they now seem to close at 4pm for the shows on the ones where this has always happened.
We have just been at there N gauge model rail show in spetember and there Artisan `bead and stamping` show about a week ago and they are the same, the shows at the warwick exhibition center are usualy very good, very busy, just everyone goes home slightly earlier i think due to the area it is in people want to get on the motorway and home before rush hour, the midlands model engineering show this friday to tuesday next week tends to be full of people later in the day and its open till 5pm
It makes a big difference to us getting back to the hotel at a sensible time, we stay in one of 2 hotels about 10 miles away , at 5.30pm theres a traffic jam to get to the hotel, at 4pm the roads are empty, when closing at 5 we used to get back to hotel about 6.30, now were back by 4.30 to 5
