The 2011 Chatsworth TVR Gathering
This is on May 8th, which will make this the sixth TVR Chatsworth Gathering.
This year on the Sunday I have again negotiated the area in front of Chatsworth House.
As was last year, we have our own dedicated TVR entrance and parking area. Parking will be from no earlier than 9.30am and the cost will be £5 per TVR for the on the gate tickets (please try to have exact money to cut down waiting time) there will be no advanced tickets or bookings, just turn up on the day. Optional tours of the House and gardens will be at the group discounted price with up to 3 guest on the production of a current TVRCC membership card on the Saturday and Sunday (No Gathering on the Saturday). Chatsworth would also like to offer a discount in their Retail outlets for TVRCC members on the 8th May only (on production of a current TVRCC membership card), the discount is 10% when spending £25 or more in the Orangery Shop, Carriage House Shop, Garden Shop and Interiors Shop (all House/Stable yard based) and the Farm Shop (at Pilsley, 1.5 miles away). As you know, the Farm Shop in particular is well worth a visit. The discount will be granted on production of a TVRCC membership card on purchases over £25 and on the 8th May only.
Everyone is welcome whether a member of the TVRCC or a Pistonheader, none TVR cars are to park in the public car park approx 100yds from the TVR only parking area, everyone is welcome to bring a picnic in this area but Chatsworth rules denote NO BBQ’s or Gazebo’s and dogs are to be kept on leads at all times and NO Trailers will be allowed.
Chatsworth have shops that sell food, and their pasties and ice creams are now legendary, there will also be both a Pasty van and drinks sales on site, Toilets are very near by too.
The TVRCC stand will also be on site selling TVRCC regalia and you can also join the TVRCC on the day to get your discounts for Chatsworth.
The Chatsworth web site is www.chatsworth.org where info on the house and surroundings can found and places where to stop over night if required and also how to get there and what there is to do for all the family.
There is a campsite not far from Chatsworth called Packhorse Farm if people wish to camp near by. It’s at Tansley nr Matlock and more details can be found on there web site http://www.packhorsefarm.co.uk/ one of our TVR owners has been and says it is TVR friendly, (places limited and places to be booked via the camp site)

Yes, none TVR parking is only about a 100yds away from the TVR area, it's just not as scenic as the TVR area is.
Thanks. Maybe I could get an S-Series in time for the big day...Mr MoJo said:
I've just had confirmation that I have got the weekend off. Planning on coming up on the Friday for the full weekend.
I'll be on my own this year as Mrs MoJo can't make it. I was looking at places to stay and notice last year there were quite a few staying at The Manor in Dronfield. Anyone staying there this year ? If so I'll book up so I've got some company
I know of three up to now that have booked in to the Manor, also a few local TVR owners will be poping in one night to have a chat and the odd drink.I'll be on my own this year as Mrs MoJo can't make it.

Should non-TVR attendees use the dedicated TVR entrance or the normal public entrance?
Geoff.
As you come in toward the house you would go straight on and pay at the wooden pay hut (none TVRs), the TVRs turn off a few yards before to the right (sign posted) and park up in front of the house.Geoff.
Everyone is welcome to come, it's just the parking that is separated.
It is now confirmed that along with the TVRCC attending Chatsworth, the Dunlop TVR European Challenge crew will be at Chatsworth. Pop in for a chat and see what the racing is all about, you can also have a chat to some of the drivers too, any question about the racing, ask these guys.
Don't forget that tours of the house and gardens are at a discounted price for TVRCC members on the Saturday and Sunday 7th-8th May.
Fancy putting your car on the rolling road at Raceproved in Sheffield? give them a ring and book your slot 0114 269 2027
Everyone welcome as they are having an open day, food and drinks are avalible, great turnout of TVRs there last year.
Details of the Derbyshire run on the Saturday will be out soon see www.chatsworthtvr.co.uk

Are the chaps from ACT, SC-Power etc going to be attending?
If they are they won't be having a stall, I can only have the TVRCC stall at Chatsworth. Companies do come with leaflets and can advise on what they have but but I'm affraid that's all. You will probably see the companies flags to let you know if they are there.

do you think there will be a lot going this year? There does not seem to be a lot of chatter on the forums in comparison to the last two could it because peeps are going to the Goodwood event instead or am I just reading it wrong?
Your right with not much banter on here this year, I put it down to this events section as not many people look at it. I have had more than the usual interest through emails and phone calls so I think as many or more could turn up this year.There are two very special TVRs at least coming this year that have never been before and many TVR owners don't even know they exsist never mind seeing two together.
The people who have been before don't seem to be posting too much on here as they know what the crack is but there seems more new comers than in previous years, but as I say i think it's because it's not on the TVR general section.
If your coming Paul you could do with a sheet or two advertising the TVR day at Santa Pod you and Derek are organising, then hopefully a few more owners can be persuaded to go to what will be a great day out.
Paul,
I am always amazed how many TVRs turn up and from so far some of them too, I have no idea how many to expect as it all boils down to the weather really. There is parking for near on 1,000 cars so everyone should get in as I'm not ever execting to get near that many.
There will again be model parking where ever possible and if everyone can make sure they are in line it will make for some great photos (possibly not as good as the Sags were) just a shame Chatsworth still have scaffolding but we can make our own spectacular sight.
Sags and Tams on the top again due to ground clearance and in between should be two very rare TVRs.
