For those that do not know about this event,it is the biggest afternoon picnic get together in the country.

Last year we attended 1500 vehicles.

This year they are limiting the number to 1050.

Fantastic event that starts at 2.00pm and goes on until after dark.

It is held slap bang in the centre of Harpenden on the common ground that runs right into the the large village or small town.

There are pubs,shops and restaurants open all day long.

Thousands of spectators attend to look at the vehicles and soak up the atmosphere.

P.S I may have a spare ticket for a vehicle to enter.?

I was there... just as a spectator this year though.

Have been, and taken the MG for the past 5 years
The show is by far the best i go to, and even the reduction in numbers this year seemed to make no difference.

always nice to see such a mix of cars (and bikes)

Will be there again next year, hopefully with a car to show again.

It was poring with rain where we live,north of Cambridge so was not sure what the event would be like this year.

Glad we made the effort and attended though.

A very unique event,nothing like this happens on such a large scale up our way.

I also like how you park as you arrive,no segregation of vehicles into clubs,makes or models etc.
