Denbies Sunday Service 13/05

Denbies makes a return to the PH Sunday Service calendar, only with plenty more spaces than before!

---

We're back for Sunday Service number four, and we're heading to Denbies Wine Estate after a successful first event last year. Let's hope for another fun filled morning in the beautiful Surrey countryside!

On the day there will be space for 500 cars in our designated parking area, but plenty of room for (human) plus ones. This time we won't be based in the main car park, but in a large grassy area before the main car park, hence we have room for many more cars. Those that attended last year's Sunday Service will attest that the scenery is lovely, so make sure to bring your cameras!

Of course if there are any wine aficionados amongst PH community, then this is probably one that is going to spark your interest. Not only will there be many lovely cars, Denbies has wine tours running throughout the day, if you want to find out more - or your passenger wants to try some wine as you're driving... The building itself has an art gallery and farm shop, as well as a restaurant - we have been very kindly offered a 20 per cent discount at the restaurant and 10 per cent discount in the gift shop (you can claim your discount with your PH windscreen badge that will be sent out before the event).

If you wish to book a wine tour in advance, Denbies offers a two-for-one ticket and they typically run at 11am, midday, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm; to book please contact Kelly Walsh ([e-mail]) and say you're with PistonHeads. To see more about Denbies before you arrive, check them out here.

So, don't miss out and get yourself signed up here!

See you there.

I'm really looking forward to this. I couldn't make it to the last one but there were loads of really positive comments so as long as the sun is shining, it'll be a great event. If Mark is coming all the way from Cornwall again in his E30 M3 then it must have been good!

Has the JLR SS been cancelled then and this is the replacement?

[Hrimfaxi]

Great to see a return to this location!

[Zedboy]

Hugely enjoyed this one last year. Tour well worth taking, and don’t miss the cheese shop!

Bummer, we're doing the Moonwalk London in the early hours of that morning so will be in no fit state to attend. Nice to see my car and ugly mug in those shots tho'.

Postponed rather than cancelled as they weren't able to make the date work in the end. It'll hopefully be later in the year.

Are well behaved dogs allowed?

Yes of course! More than welcome in the grounds, but they're not allowed in the building though...

[BlackCup]

Thanks that’s great 😀 can combine the visit with a Box Hill dog walk then!

Super excited for this. My two favourite things are wine and cars, (closely followed by cheese) should be an awesome day! Thanks for organizing!!

[wilbo83]

Seems a bit quiet on this topic given the SS is only a few days away. Assume it is still happening?

[sagarich]

Only 336 signups so far? I would normally expect it to be oversubscribed this close to Sunday??? Is there another event clashing or something?

But you'll only see about 150/200 out of those as is the way with the SS events.

Should I have received an email by now with the entry slip? I haven't... checked email inbox and junk mail...
Could you resend, ideally by lunchtime, so I can print it off before I leave work?
I'm #3 on the sign-up list...

Well, quite.
How many times do I need to check the junkmail before the PH email is visible?
Just looked again now, and have this one:

How are you doing!

It's a fairly new venue to us and it's non motoring, so given that we've over doubled the 150 from November, it's not bad going. The manufacturer/circuit events tend to fill very quickly, but it's nice to diversify a bit too.

Very much still going ahead though and can't wait for it after the feedback from last time. Key thing to note is that we'll be parked on grass this time, to the right immediately before the main car park we were in last year. But it will be sign posted, so hopefully no one will miss it!

Jack should be sending out the email later this morning
