I went! And it was great!
Thanks to u/crazysnakemanhere for the recommendation! I went in for a t-shirt, came out 2 tees and a sashiko jacket heavier! And I got to meet Nick T and lovely Vollebak staff JJ and (I'm sorry, charming blonde lady whose name escapes me!)
It was a proper space with loads of sexy gear. I got to have a good look at the Sonic jacket and the Mycellium jacket and tried on the Aerogel. I did feel for the team who had to put up with the disruptive Unite The Kingdom marchers outside (and had to give up changing space on behalf of unwell and unwelcome demonstrators!)
Do visit when they come to your capital. It was a lengthy journey for me but well worth it.
Also I can highly recommend the event newspaper, let me know if you'd like images.
