Yes, I'll be going for the first time in 5 years, this time with the MOC.

If you've not been before, it's a good day out with plenty of decent car eye candy on offer.

I'm unsure if it's enough to warrant a 2 day visit as a visitor, and once you've done it, little changes the following year., especially at Beaulieu as you can only walk around the museum once or twice before you've seen everything!

For drivers displaying cars, the hospitality that was an attraction is no longer free, so will be interesting if that impacts the cars attending. Hope not!

I'm there with Sporting Bears, I read that the drivers area no longer had complimentary refreshments but did have them at a discount. I've never been before so have nothing to compare it to. I'm there 2 days but it's a static Sporting Bears stand i.e. no dream rides so I'll have time to wander around and have a proper look.

Going on my own so no wife and kids to slow me down and moan about being tired, hungry and hot so should be able to take it all in.

I'm also there with the Sporting Bears, but do have the fun of a demo run up the track on Sunday.

I've been a few times and enjoy it, mostly for the fun of getting parents to donate to charity so they can take pictures of their kids in the cars, or buy raffle tickets to be a passenger on the demo runs, but I do make sure I have a look round the rest of the show as well.

Thanks for the tip.

I was going to say. And the house itself and the abbey. It's fascinating the first time if you like old buildings.
