I went to McMichael - reasonable size and range of stuff, only thing I bought was a huge bin of random NOS chips - PIC18s, 680x0,Z80 & other stuff.

Went to Bury St Edmunds today. Only about 35 miles down the A14 so easy for me. Took the dog as it was advertised as dog friendly. It was very dog friendly. Fair number of sellers mostly small. Not much TE. A few analog scopes, couple of Bird Thru-line power meters etc. Didn't buy any TE. Some components including some nice APEM toggle switches, 8 for 50p. Label says HM Gov. paid £57 each for them in '97 current price from mouser £202 each :o
Oddities included a CV148 IR image converter tube of WWII vintage for 50p and a Noga deburring tool with spare blades in a "free" bin. gave th seller a couple of quid for that one. Nearly bought a nanoVNA for £20 but the screen was scratched and as it wasn't chargeed I could not check it.
So nothing special but friendly and a nice trip out.

They all are, a consequence of attendees' age, covid, ebay.
One of my favourites, Didcot/Harwell is now defunct.

Harwell used to be really good, February too, indoors, a good start to the year.
