The North West Region of the Porsche Club GB (PCGB) is this year holding a new Regional Event at Arley Hall, the home of Viscount and Lady Ashbrook. Situated approximately midway between Knutsford and Warrington, Arley Hall - Arley, Nr Northwich, Cheshire CW9 6NA - is approximately 5 miles in each case from Jcn 19 of the M6 and Jcn 9 of the M56 (M6 Jcn 20), and both routes are clearly signposted.
Combining traditional car festival features - including a “60 years of Porsches” display and car and biker “Guest Club” displays by the Morgan Sports Car Club and Harley Davidson Riders Club of Great Britain respectively, Concours competition and specialist trade stands - with a range of attractions with wider appeal, “Porsches at Arley Hall” aims to provide an exciting day out for both car enthusiasts and other members of their families. Family attractions will include jewellery, country clothing, organic food products, a bookstall, laser clay pigeon shooting, racecar simulators, and a mammoth Scalextric circuit, and there will be a “Help for Heroes” stand, with a climbing wall and assault course, manned by soldiers of the 1st Battalion Mercian Regiment (“The Cheshires” . Other stall holders are welcome, but we wish to avoid duplication.
The parkland below the ornate Jacobean-style Hall provides the ideal setting for the event, and is at the same time conveniently close to the Tudor Barn restaurant, gift shop, award-winning gardens and plant nursery. The event is open from 11.00am to 5.00 pm (gates open at 10.30am) and participants will have direct, hard-surfaced access, separate from that used by other Hall visitors. Entry charges are adults £8.00 and children 5 to 15 £2.00 (under 5s free), inclusive of complimentary tea/coffee/soft drinks and free entry (adults ordinarily £6.00) to the Hall gardens. The Concours is restricted to PCGB members (temporary, day membership available at a modest charge) and there is no additional charge for entering.
Members of neighbouring PCGB Regions, The Independent Porsche Enthusiasts Club (TIPEC) and the aforementioned “Guest Clubs” have been invited to attend, and all Porsche owners and other Hall visitors will be welcome.
