Did anyone attend this year ? Any Photos ?

I missed it due to family commitments , but I do know it caused a massive traffic jam on day 2 . Sadly it might cause the event to be moved if too many complaints , I hope not.

The event's too cheap at £10 a pop, and they need to look at the safety issues of so many people on this fairly inaccessible location.

They should be running it on more days or increasing the ticket price.
 
My Neighbour goes every year and My Brother always goes ( He gets in for nothing as he carried out some work on Mr Masons house, alas i had other commitments which was very annoying as i had two invites and just had to get my **** into the passenger seat of either vehicle, and it is only 20 minutes from my home ...... Next year ( I bet no-one goes then! )
 
I hope it continues , but the traffic jam it caused on the Sunday was pretty epic , many people (not related to the event) were making U turns with no idea why they had to.

It was 1.7 miles long (mostly standing still) on a road that (on a Sunday) never has traffic issues.
 
Sat 7th & Sunday 8th June 2025.

£12 a pop

Great event but best try to get there early because of the traffic queues.

Like "The Polo" or "Goodwood Festival of Speed," it's worth it just to look at the other people who are attending.

 
I went in 23, great cars about and the car park was worth a wander too.
 
If you are able go early on the Saturday . Not sure what can be done about the traffic (going in) as this year a few volunteers holding up motorists (technically illegally ??) had no idea of the impact their traffic management was having almost 2 miles own the road. I don't have the answer and appreciate the volunteers were doing their best.

Leaving the site is a bit better as one of Mr Masons neighbours allow you to use his smooth private road to get back to the pot holed ones we 'own' . It would be a shame to see this event be stopped as it is for a good cause and a great opportunity to see some very rare but still driven cars.

At least he doesn’t have the same council issues as Jeremy Clarkson
