Shouldn't be difficult to spend lots of money in Sidmouth next year Anne. The shops and pubs will be empty so you'll be served quickly. Nobody will have sold out of anything. You won't have to wait hours for a table in caffs or restaurants. There will be no queues for concerts or workshops and none of the workshops will have been sold out. You'll even be able to walk round Sidmouth and along the Prom more easily as none of those wretched folkies will be around to block your way with their wretched instruments and clanging bells on their legs. Hope you have a great time.
