Premier Inn Hockley Heath is a great place to stay. Lovely village just 2 miles from M42 J4 and hotel had a huge car park.

Hi all - plan to be there in my 1997 216 SE Cabriolet.

Not been before and don’t know the area well, so not sure exactly how to get to the gate and stand. Any additional info is appreciated.

Follow the map they usually put on the FB page. There's two entrances, both have long queues to get in and completely jam up the local traffic, so when you go down Lowhill Lane (which takes you to both entrances so it doesn't matter which way you come from) and you come to the rear of a long line of BMC/BL/AR (and a Honda!) cars then just join the queue!

I’m planning on attending in my 420 tourer.

What time should we aim to arrive? Will it be obvious where to find the club area? Not been before so I don’t know how big the show is. Cheers.
