Have you booked accommodation???
I couldn't find any where to stay within an hour's travelling and not less than £110 per night.
I was thinking about the Revival but with three day tickets, b&b, fuel etc we reckoned it would cost about £700! Consequently saving (and booking ahead) for next year...
Mike.
