   This is probably a silly question, given that it's a 'Parent and Child' show, but can anyone who's been before confirm that they have have a decent feeding / changing area, or at least somewhere where it's easy to find a seat and give Bubs a feed? I'm tempted to go, but really couldn't be bothered if I have to hunt around for somewhere to feed and change him...

   Hopes the show itself is in a big hall, outside the hall there is a cafe and it's a huge area as well as an outside area with steps where heaps of people sit and eat/drink rest.  As for changing - I'm not sure as I was pregnant last year and didn't need it or look for it but I would imagine they would have somewhere for you to use.

   Thanks guys    Hmmm... I can see how that would be the case, LJsmum, but I'm not going to be able to avoid taking it if I go, if I'm there for anything more than an hour he'll need somewhere to sleep.

   Hopes go later in the arvo like 3pm and you should be fine thats when we went last year and we had no problems. But definitely a big space inside provided for changing, feeding etc. It is open plan so if your a bit self conscious take a wrap/blanket to drape over yourself as cos of course there are dads in there too

   Thanks for asking that question - was thinking the same thing.  Although thought it would be a bit dumb not haven't any decent facilities being the P&C show and all.  Went last year on the Sunday and the crowds weren't too bad, so will prob go on Sunday again.
