Telford might very well be the largest town in Shropshire and one of the fastest growing in the UK currently, but on the 2nd of February the population increased slightly as the Camper Mart and Tattoo Freeze circus rolled into town. And don’t for one-minute think that this is a local affair. People are so desperate to get their show seasons started, that they will even get on a ferry and travel for over 24 hours! One dedicated couple, making their first trip to the event, came from Galway in Ireland and were parked at the main entrance an hour before the car park gates opened, we hope they had a great time and got home safely.
