Wilton House PH Parking

Heading to Wilton House? You'll want to park in the PH parking area

---

Wilton House Classic & Supercar day is almost upon us and we can expect another great day of fantastic cars, trade stands and displays in the shadows of Lord Pembroke's fabulous home.

In celebration of the event Lord Pembroke has commissioned a special wrap for his Bugatti Veyron using original artwork from the now-legendary Ian Cook of Pop Bang Colour and the result is certainly eye-catching! The car will be on display at the event, so you'll have every opportunity to give it detailed scrutiny, but it looks impressive in the recently released photographs.

It's not too late to buy tickets to the event, as online sales can be made until 3pm on August 1, but if you prefer tickets can be purchased on the gate for a small premium over the online price.

As in previous years a PistonHeads parking area has been reserved for all PHers heading along on Sunday. To gain access you will need to approach the venue from the Netherhampton Corner entrance (please ignore signs telling you otherwise) and we are told that adding SP2 8PX to your sat nav will take you in the right direction.

To help the gate staff to point you in the right direction please print off this (no expense spared) sheet and display it in your windscreen as you arrive.

We hope you have a great day

So that gets you into next year's PH parking?

Sorted

Sorry about that.

So can we purchase tickets on the day and also go in the 'back door' to access pistonhead parking area.

I wasn't able to attend but I'm tempted to make a plan, simply to gain backdoor access.

For clarity, as you head to the PH section our ticket-marshals will ask you to either a) present your pre-purchased tickets or b) purchase 'on-the-day' priced tickets at £15/person.

Best,
JKB

Thanks for the confirmation, cheers

Veyron looks surprisingly good, I'd love to see one in proper racing livery...

[Jaykaybi]

It's impressive on the move/in the wild.

Excited for this - Jay, what weather have you organised?

Weather's basically irrelevant, the show will be unaffected. Last time it rained we still exceeded the previous year's attendance, both in terms of cars on show and people through the gate. Advance ticket sales are way up on last year, and the cars on show will be mental. Just bring an umbrella for the showers

[Mini1275]

Can we pay by card on the gate, Jay?.

I can't remember if it was cash-only previously.

Really looking forward to this, fingers crossed for sunshine!

[askgeez]

really looking forward to the weekend!

i missed the 2011 event, so set a diary reminder for a year in advance to keep an eye out for 2012 !!
Bought the tickets on the day they came out.....

anyway, enough waffle...

Of course, all are welcome

As for bikes, I would have thought so. Jay, can you confirm?

I see no reason why not

[Dangermouse78]

Is that colour scheme supposed to look like Gulf livery, cause it's done to great effect

[JonRB]

Do you anticipate the PH carpark becoming full and you having to turn people away? And if so, roughly at what time might this happen?

It does look awesome, I'd buy that wrap for my car if it was available
