It's a really good day out for families and car enthusiasts alike. The admission fee gives you entry into the beautiful gardens and there are plenty of craft and trade stands to keep you busy. There is also a grand ring with displays happening throughout the day, and although most of us take a picnic there are loads of foodie stalls, so no need to go hungry. There will also be Concourse runs during the day which enables drivers to "blast" their cars down the drive - however numbers are restricted for this and you need to book direct with the Events Organiser at Helmingham if you wish to take part. Dogs are allowed on leads. Payment is on the day which we normally collect once everyone is parked up - CASH PLEASE.
