Having seen the photos....I believe Saga is involved.
What is this SAGA you talk about? Edited by avinalarf on Tuesday 21st October 13:11
It's for old codgers,like me.
I go ballroom dancing and learn to dribble there.
Mind you some of the old birds are quite hot and they love an Aston.

I assumed it was inspired by how some restaurants let you eat in the kitchen and watch the chefs.
I wouldn't go, but I don't see it as a 'class' thing at all - you're watching the performers and the cars, not the 'servants'. Anyway those chaps make the cars whether they are watched or not, so if there is a lords-plebs thing (which there isn't), that happens regardless of the dinner.
I agree with this entirely. While we were there for the Centenary, the visit at Gaydon included a coffee reception in an exhibit area, followed by a tour of the factory, and then lunch in the middle of the factory (in the glass room). Any tour that goes through any work area could be seen as a lords-plebs thing. I talked to a number of the workers at the factory and they were all very pleasant and welcoming.I wouldn't go, but I don't see it as a 'class' thing at all - you're watching the performers and the cars, not the 'servants'.

In case anyone is interested, here are some pics that I took, including tours of Newport Pagnell and Gaydon.
