If you have time, read as much as you can about it on their website so you will know who and what is going to be there. There is so much of it, it will be easy to miss some of the stands or workshops you may really want to visit. If you go to the website http://www.whodoyouthinkyouarelive.co.uk/ click on 'Events' and then 'Exhibitors' Print the list out and then work out which stands you don't want to miss. Then click on 'Visiting' and then 'Show map'. Print out the floor plan and work out where the most important stands you want to visit will be. The Yorkshire stands are 32, 33 and 34 (pink section on the map) opposite Ancestry.co.uk (in blue on the map) Also under the 'Event' section, you can download a printable version of the workshops for each day. There are so many of them, that you really need to work out which ones you are likely to want to go to. Some are by ticket only, they are free but I think you will need to obtain them as soon as you arrive. They were available in advance but the Saturday (advance) ones have already sold out. If you haven't time for any advance preparation, wear your comfiest shoes and as Roy said "Just enjoy the day" Kind regards Brenda www.yorkshireancestors.com
