Since the first event in 1976, the emphasis has always been on putting on a great display of classic unmodified Volkswagens of all types. We have always aimed to give great value for money, whether it’s in the entry prices or the fees for the trade stands.
It takes place around the lake on the grounds of a 17th Century Country House in rural Leicestershire.
