There is just the one in England in August - on the last Mon of that month.
Deej - if its any help, we are less than an hour (or lots more if M25 is horrid) from Brands.
Close to M3 jct 3, or A3 - should you need a bed for the night going one way or the other.
Dont know where in Cornwall you are, but it usually takes us 3 & a half hours (at speed limts) to hit the border - via the A303/M5/North Devon link/Atlantic Highway to Bude.
