No booking required, just turn up on the day.
If you have a car that fits that Sundays theme, then you can park in the courtyard or the entrance near the gate.
If you arrive in anything else, there is a free car park at the front near the gate entrance, where you can park up, look around at the cars and have a nice breakfast in the café.

For the record the meet this morning was fantastic. Weather much nicer than expected, great variety of cars (including some gems in the back carpark), the house and in particular the grounds look brilliant at the moment and we sat in the cafe for a tasty breakfast on a table next to the Earl and his family who were all having a good time.
Enjoyed seeing the cars noisily departing, only wish we lived closer as we'd probably pop in most months.

Hi chaps, I'll be taking an interesting route to Wilton in the morning and you're welcome to follow. I'm going to be at Ower services at 7.30am if you'd like to join us. It will be my first hoon in my new beastie - in fact it's covered under 300 miles in total so far. I think you'll spot me easily enough - a very noisy V12 soft top
My pregnant girlfriend may be with me, in which the route will still be fab, but the speed less than usual to save her redecorating the interior with her morning sickness! Hope to see you there
