This is one of Andrew Greenwood's events. http://www.classicshows.org/classic-sho ... -aj-stalls

The grounds are stunning, there are lots of classic cars (est. 300+) and quite a few bikes too.
Always worth a visit this one, and it's only a fiver to get in. Turn up and show on the day.

Thanks for posting this Will :up only a short trip for me so despite the appalling rain I ventured out there on the bike.
Seems Capesthorne Hall must have has its own micro climate as it was dry :) Good to see many hadn't been put off by the weather - as you said 300+ cars in attendance and a fare few bikes (mostly Brit) but all in all a worthy trip - the home run in 'biblical rain' was a different story but hey ho :lol:

Had a good chat with Dave Thomas who was there with his Kawasaki 350 race bike. Dave is a great bloke to talk to and still passionate to this day about his bike and racing - this bike is part of history for Kawasaki as it was there first road race win in the UK at Cadwell back in '67. He showed me photos from last year at the IOM with Cameron Donald sat on it and pointed out the rear tyre where he (Dave) had took it to the limit on the parade lap - Top Bloke :up

Anyhow a few pics of the day
