Planning on attending this wife my wife and two girls. Hope the weather is cold, crisp and bright!

[ClassicMotorNut]

Yep, we'll be there. Hopefully we won't have a bright yellow Lambo parking next to our Midget this year and pinching all the attention.

[RichB]

Usual discount if you arrive in a classic presumably?

[tonymor]

Yes

[iva cosworth]

How strict are they over what you turn up in wanting to display inside the grounds ?

I would like to bring my Fiat Barchetta [1997]

Website does state "interesting younger vehicles".....

What's the worst that could happen ?

They turn me away,red faced....

[tonymor]

No you would not be turned away every one is welcome a mix of cars is what's welcome.

[iva cosworth]

Thanks,just wondered if they were sniffy if your car was too new but i should be

okay,it'll probably be the only one there.

[RichB]

There's a car park for the moderns immediately next to the Brooklands paddock so it's good wherever you park.

How long does the event go on for ? is there much point in turning up after 11:30am ? thinking of starting at the Phoenix then coming over , I've been once but I can't remember how long it went on for.

[tonymor]

The event as with the whole museum site closes at 4 pm so it's as long as that.

[RichB]

Here's a few snaps from a couple of years ago to get you in the mood. Hope the weather's as good!

Brooklands Museum has experienced flooding overnight and as a result we are delaying our reopening after Christmas until at least Monday 30th December. At this stage we hope to be open in at least a limited way from then on, including for New Year’s Day, but we ask intending visitors to check this website for updates. Our switchboard is not working but we can handle essential calls on 01932 855465.

Given that they often get people parking on the grass on New Year's Day it may be very muddy even if it's on.

Is it the usual pricing for new year day?
