The website says otherwise about the dresscode still on Saturday. Attending myself for the first time. Saturday is:
Garden Party - For gentlemen, a comfortable suit or blazer with chinos and a pair of brogues
And specifically no shorts and tshirts on any day
it says underneath the public days are more "relaxed and casual" so wear what you want but its a nice posh event so prob not megadeath t shirtGarden Party - For gentlemen, a comfortable suit or blazer with chinos and a pair of brogues

It was my first time and a huge turnout, or rather a huge turnout outside in the 'preferential parking' where the car clubs were. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I felt that the actual ticketed part (notwithstanding having to wave a barcode to drive into the car park) was surprisingly small and primarily for those that wanted a social event and hospitality, with a byproduct of cars. Were my expectations a little too high perhaps? I'm not sure, but on the basis of it, there are many better value events if you're into looking at cars - but I guess it depends what you want.
As a Lambo owner, I do find that their rarity value has gone by the way side somewhat now, with a few massive bags of Skittles of them across the event! (yes, I know it was the anniversary, in part helped by LCUK etc...!). But the outside / car park part of the event had a great array of cars and truly one of the few events where people respect the cars, don't drag sticky fingers along them and actually look with their eyes rather than with their hands. I guess the slight remoteness of the location and the price point helps in that regard.

Well I was annoyed re the price as I had brunch in Woodstock beforehand and the local entrance was open so went round the car park with friend for free then went back into the main area for £50 so wish I hadn’t got a ticket. But tbf the “whole” event was worth £50 not sure what else you were expectingAs a Lambo owner, I do find that their rarity value has gone by the way side somewhat now, with a few massive bags of Skittles of them across the event!
