After the success of the Trentham classic car show there seems to be some interest in the event at Shugborough Hall, Staffordshire

 

This is another large show, 1000+ vehicles, organised by the same promoters as Trentham Gardens

 

Shugborough Hall is a large National Trust Stately Home set in rural Stafforshire. It is particularly nice for families as the hall has a 'working' olden days farm and kitchens where the staff are dressed up in period costume showing how life was lived back in the day

 

Info on Shugborough is here : http://www.shugborough.org.uk/Homepage.aspx

 

Info on the car show is here : http://www.transtarpromotions.com/ShugboroughHall2013.html

 

Shugborough Hall is situated approx 6 miles from J13 of the M6

 

I requested some info from the orgaisers, as follows

 

Hi Richard

 

Thank you for your email and glad you all enjoyed the day at Trentham Gardens last weekend.

 

10 cars will be fine for a club stand at Shugborough.

 

Entry fee is £3.50 per exhibit which allows driver plus one other adult and up to two children under 16 into the event but they must be in the vehicle coming in.

 

Entries usually close on this event four weeks beforehand due to the popularity of the event.

 

Entry includes access to the grounds and gardens. Entry to the mansion house and working farm is at additional cost.

Now bear in mind this event clashes with 'Zedfest'.

 

I would like to attend (and my car should be fixed well before then :clap:), and I believe there are a few others already wishing to exhibit.

 

If there is sufficient interest we need to be booking a club stand within the next couple weeks. I will also post up details for this show on zclub.net

This is going to be a brilliant show, really sorry I will miss it. Next year a defo for me though.

Yeah the idea is for the southbound crew to meet at Sandbach (I have to go some way north for this but fancy the drive)

 

Then we will convoy down to J13 to meet the rest of you heading northbound. If we meet Sandback at 8:45 that gives us plenty of time to get to J13 by 9:15 or so to meet you two plus Onslow. J13 Holiday Inn sounds good to me.

 

PaulR I guess you have a 50/50 choice which rendezvous point you want to head for?

 

That just leaves Steve (Silverline) who lives closer to Shugborough - do you want to have your pass and go directly to the show or do you want to meet at J13?

 

I reckon with the inevitable little delays you always get when trying to organise a group of people, plus the queue into the venue which is 6 miles from J13, we should be on stand by about 10:15 which gives us 45 mins to organise ourselves before the show opens rather than just 'dumping' the cars like we did at Trentham lol

 

Rich

 

Rich,

 

So that's confirmed then,, junc 13, Holiday Inn 9.15 or thereabouts, will you inform other people going ,,thanks

 

Chris

Rich, I will travel north to Sandbach like you and enjoy the drive down..... Really looking forward to this one...

Going to have to now mate......

 

......Or else we'll never get to meet each other!!!

 

So that's 9:15 at M6 j13, is it? Anywhere specific upon leaving the motorway - and I think I have your number in my phone Bri; if it's same as you put in the mod pages (mine is there BTW).HOpefully see you all tomorrow then!!

 

Richard:cowboy:

 

My Moby is the same Richard mate...send me a text in the next few to make sure and ile put yours in my phone book again (new phone). Its looking like being a great day plus wife says she wants to sniff around the actuall Hall and check out some "culture":wink:

I don't generally work much but all these blinking shows always seem to fall on days I am, doh!

As long as she doesn't drag you with her Bri. Gutted I can't make this but my car isn't quite ready yet. Plus I'm out Saturday night.

Haha, that's true, I wasn't meant to be drinking that night either. You probably had a worse headache than me though after seeing that engine.

Just so there is no confusion here regards admission prices:

 

Those who have exhibitor passes you can have up to two adults and two sproggs under 15yrs in your car and this is included in your £3.50 entry fee

 

Thos who do not have passes have to pay the normal rates at the ehibitors entrance but can still park on our group stand

 

That means for anyone without a pass you pay £8 per adult and £3 per child. Children under 5yrs are free

 

Same applies for anyone with a pass who for example wants to take 3 adults you would pay £8 extra on the gate

 

Seeing as some of us do not have full cars (2 adult + 2 kids) we could maybe do a bit of swapping around at the J13 rendezous to minimise costs for those without passes?

 

We for example will have 2 adults (maybe 3 adults if my m8 Mack comes along) , so have space to fit a sprogg in if needed

Oh and the long range weather forecast for next Sunday at Shugborough is good :wink:

Mines in having a rad upgrade, a new reverse switch and an oil change, all should be well for the weekend fingers crossed.

If you are gonna sniff around the hall you should enjoy it!

 

Last time we went they had 'characters' dressed up in period costume around the house - and you can chat with them too but they only understand period conversation

 

Also has a 'working' victorian kitchen where folks in costume are preparing traditional foods and the working farm is also very much worth a look

 

 

Journey through the historic grounds of the Shugborough Estate in Staffordshire and experience the nation’s best 'upstairs downstairs' experience.

 

Set in 900 acres of stunning parkland and riverside gardens with elegant mansion house, working Victorian servants’ quarters, Georgian farm, dairy & mill and a restored walled garden, which are brought to life by costumed living history characters who share their lives and powerful stories from the past with visitors.

 

Back for 2013 is Shugborough Revisited: Explore Lord Lichfield’s private rooms and hear the stories of one of the nation’s grandest families.

 

Within the stunning parkland you can also explore beautiful gardens, magnificent monuments and wander through the island arboretum garden.

 

The attraction also features a land train ride, play park, restaurant & tea rooms, craft workshops, gift shop and offers a fantastic full day out for everyone.
