Hi there I noticed that there's a Porsche event on at Chatsworth House in north Derbyshire on July the 5th - I think it's the 12th one they've had there - does anyone know if it's any good / what's on show ? Cheers smile

Apparently so, according to Porsche Club GB - spoke to them yesterday. Agree , on line there is no presence of the event - I guess this was why I did the original post as I wondered if it was any good. I think I'll pop and have a nosey smile

It is a regional event so it is hidden on the regional page for East Midlands who are organising it. Details are here https://www.porscheclubgb.com/regions-registers/re...

I might try and pop in on way back from Silverstone Sunday Morning. Can any past attendees comment whether its worth the detour from the M1 .

It's not much of a detour, usually 150+ cars there.

Chatsworth House is a fantastic location set in the middle of Derbyshire with gorgeous winding roads and breathtaking views.

Pay attention though because the entrance near to Chatsworth House is very poorly sign-posted and many drivers over-shoot and have to turn round.

On a more positive note there are loads of things for the wife and kids to do if they're not into cars, the grounds are spectacular, Chatsworth House is stunning, and a variety of tractor-driven rides around the grounds are on offer which should thrill the kids.

Also worth noting is that Matlock, Matlock Bath and Bakewell are nearby as is Buxton, so plenty nearby to visit over the weekend.

Just watch out for the safety camera partnership parasites looking out to justify their jobs.

Ought to add I posted a few pics on my Flickr account from 2014 which might help: https://www.flickr.com/photos/100047767@N07/sets/7...

Chatsworth really is a lovely event to attend.

Crimp , looks like you could learn a thing or too from rich888 : informative , detailed , an angle to help "sell" the event to the family and photos : It looks like you "CAN say fairer than that" !

Only kidding (obviously) thanks both : I plan to go in Alfie (it came to me with the name)

I go every year and seem to recall entering the concours with my Supersport many moons ago.
The buffoons at PCGB marked it down because it had Black number plates on it when it was clearly in the top 3!!
That aside nice little event, watch out for the sheep sh*t everywhere.
Not sure if I'm attending this year though as I'm out on the lash the night before so could get messy
