Is there any local monthly PH car meets in Essex?

I’m in Dunmow Essex up by Stansted airport, maybe some interest in getting a few of us together? I remember back in the day it was just off the A12 but I’m going back some years…

If there is some interest a friend of mine has a pub with a large field attached which most cars would be able to access without any issue my (M2C with carbon front lip has no problem)… sure he would do a drink / burger deal..

Yeah there is. I’d suggest joining the Essex Pistonheads group on Facebook where all events are posted.

There's an even at The Warren near Maldon on the 3rd October that may be of interest: https://www.thewarrenestate.co.uk

The Pistonheads Essex meets are a breakfast meet on the second Saturday of the month at The White Elms Garden Centre, White Elm Rd, Danbury, Bicknacre, Chelmsford CM3 4LR, there's a large car park and a good breakfast if so inclined with a friendly bunch, from 08.45am.

We also have an evening meet on the third Thursday of the month at the Rettendon Lodge, Burnham Rd, Battlesbridge, Wickford SS11 7QT again good pub food available (Best to book) this event understandably is more popular in the summer due to the light, normally people start arriving from 18.45.
All makes and models welcome.

There is a weekly car meet at the Big Red Bus at North Weald Airfield, every Sunday from 9.30am.

Open to anything, so lots of very ordinary dailies in attendance, but some really lovely and obscure stuff too. Again, advertised by Facebook

be careful - we started out having a cars and coffee meet a few years ago and for quite some time it was great... then the normal dheads turned up. Made the neighbours of the car-meet very unhappy

There’s the monthly (first Saturday) one at Pie & Pint Inns, which has been going since 2010.

It alternates between their three pubs & is usually only on April to October but has been extended to November this year.

It’s at The Castle Great Leigh’s on the 6th. People meet from 8, with the pub opening for breakfast at 9.

Little Easton Manor is a new meet. Good variety of cars, amazing setting, live music and good service. Last one is the 2nd Sunday of November. You need to register on their website.

The thing I don't like about White Elm is the dust from the gravel car park. You only have to be there for 5 minutes and your car is covered.

Thanks for that I’d not heard of it. How long has it been going?

Cheers

I’ll have to keep an eye out for this, only 10 mins from my house 👍

Does anyone know if the meets at White Elm in Bicknacre still go ahead? I presume they've stopped for the year now, but would be great to start attending again in the new year

The White Elm meets happen every month of the year with the caveat being the weather on the day in winter months can impact attendance.

This Saturday is one biggrin

This is maybe due an update...

Looking for some weekend meets to put in the Diary smile

Bicester and the like are nice but it's a shame we don't have more local meets.

I went to the White Elm one for the first time last year, was searching to see when the first is this year?

Managed to Miss Wheels at the Warren in the summer and most of all I'm missing the Museum of Power Cars and Coffee meet.

If the weather is not so good a 10-20 minute drive is do-able rather than 2 hrs on the miserable Motorway smile

Any new meets, the one Near Dunmow/Thaxted at Great Eastern Manor Maybe, also been the once...

Was going to mention the one a Little Easton, it’s got very popular, there were 200 or so cars at meet over the summer. It’s still on over winter seemingly.
