  • This Post Has Been Approved By Paul Garlick **
Hi all
I am auctioning off a pair of tickets to have a 2 hour tour round the Aston Martin's state of the art factory at Gaydon donated by Aston Martin, These tickets are extremely rare and cannot normally be secured by members of the public, so this for a lot of people is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

The 2 hour tour will give you an insight into the stages that go behind the creation of every Aston Martin, from bonding the Chassis to the hand stitching of the leather interior even the testing before the car is dispatched.

I have letter of confirmation from Aston Martin for the tour and also from Willen Hospice!

The tickets will be placed on EBay and the highest Bidder will win TWO tickets, once one auction is complete the other two will be placed up for grabs,

All Proceeds will go to Willen Hospice Milton Keynes.

  • ** WHY WILLEN HOSPICE ****
Willen Hospice services are free and only 23% of their costs are met through government funding covering areas within Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Northampton etc.

The Hospice needs to raise more than £3 million a year to provide its services which all done through fund raising.

Total Cost of Service £4.3 million
Amount the Hospice needs to raise £3.4 million.

All proceeds will go to Willen Hospice In Milton Keynes,

Hi stu
We live in MK, so can we just make a donation rather than bid on the tickets?

My wife actually did a 10k charity walk last year for Willlen hospice so we are well aware of the service it provides to the community smile
