md00071 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Planning our annual trip to Meadowhall from out of town. How busy is it this year, and when are the times to avoid? I've been before at xmas thinking it would packed and its been quiet. Also been at what I thought would be quiet time like mid-morning, and found it to be mayhem. What's it been like so far this xmas?
mary70 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 its been hit and miss again this year, we went 2 saturdays ago and had to park in the overspill and it was manic inside, went this saturday drove straight in and parked and it wasnt bad inside, i think its pot luck, just go thinking it will be packed and if its not its a bonus
missymoo73 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Planning our annual trip to Meadowhall from out of town. How busy is it this year, and when are the times to avoid? I've been before at xmas thinking it would packed and its been quiet. Also been at what I thought would be quiet time like mid-morning, and found it to be mayhem. What's it been like so far this xmas? Its mental as per every year trust me I have been so much these last few days. I would go first thing - now opens at 9am. or last thing around 8pm....It tends to get busy around lunchtime.
iphonelover Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Well its rammed packed tonight if that answers your question.
mapleboy Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 OP, I think you'll find the correct spelling at this time of year is MeadowhEll. Went into Argos one night last week, a quick in and out. Not overly many numpties in need of a pickaxe handle to the back of the forehead in such a short distance/time but even that was more than enough, thank you very much!
goggles Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Went in with my husband on Monday evening. Relatively quiet!
Rich Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Avoid weekends, it's bad enough in the week, but Saturday and Sunday you'd get trampled in the rush probably.
shanes teeth Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 How can you get hit in the back of the forehead?
martss Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 There's a definate lull between 2:30pm and 4pm, seems to fit in with people going to collect kids from school. I've been in a few times just after 2pm, weekdays and it's not bad.
Daven Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I think I'm right in saying that Meadowhall is open until 11pm now on the run up to Christmas. 8pm to 11pm is the best time to go.
