2014 Skodafest

Stanford Hall, Lutterworth, Leicestershire, LE17 6DH

Sunday 25^th May

 

Set in the majestic grounds of Stanford Hall, the annual Skodafest offers an excellent opportunity for owners and fans alike to meet, swap stories and admire the cars on display. Organised by the Skoda Owners’ Club GB and now in it’s second year, the event is open to Skodas of all ages and aims to bring together an eclectic range of models from throughout the marque’s long history.

Additionally, the event is open to any other Cold War Era vehicles. With a laid back atmosphere the event is a perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the best kept and rarest Skoda models in the country. Furthermore Stanford Hall offers great amenities for the whole family with an excellent cafe and toilets. An £8 per person entrance fee gains grounds and house entrance. But with so much to see outside, who’s interested on what’s inside?

Gates open from 10:30!

might pop along to this and the link to facebook says you have to log in

[skodanorman]

I think with all Facebook pages you must be logged into your account to view it. 

[vrs'burks]

Do you have to apply to show? Or is it just turn up and ask to diplay your car?

[Ant-Vrs]

The link don't work for me. Anybody know what to put in to search on fb

[dbg400]

I think the event might only show for group members as it doesn't show for me - I just see this seasons races at Harewood Speed Hillclimb

 

It's very tempting but we're already on holiday that week. Hope it goes well.

 Just turn up and ask to display.

[skodanorman]

Oh sorry chaps. I didn't realise Facebook only let group members see the page. How annoying. It doesn't say much beyond what is on here to be honest.

No need to book in. Just turn up, pay the entrance fee (which goes to the estate not the Club) and enjoy the day.

Is there show n shine or does everybody just show there cars for a massive meet.

[SNH]

Think it's the latter dude, nothing mentioned of a show & shine on the fb page.

[RapidRapid]

It's just a gathering of Skoda's, old and new, and owners, there will be a few people selling spares, mainly for the older Skodas. Well worth attending, always a good day, even the weather is normally good. 

[vrsadz]

do you all meet up before you go in and then all park in the same place , or just drive around the grounds and see where the others have parked

[skodanorman]

Sorry boys and girls. Been very busy lately and haven't replied sufficiently to this thread. Please see some answers to questions below.

It is hard to plan events in such a way that they don't clash with something. Hopefully you can make it.

Dubs Mania is separate show and the two aren't linked. Which is good for the Skoda show calendar.

10am the gates open.

Upon arrival at Stanford Hall (clearly signposted from the M6/M1), you pay your entrance fee at the main gate and drive up the big drive. The show is on the lawn in front of the house and it will be marshalled and signposted where to park. There is no formal parking plan; just park up, relax and enjoy.

^ WHS. Skoparts International will have a stand selling a variety of parts and I know several Club members are bringing parts with them to sell on the day.

All Skodas are welcome and all are on show. The show has a relaxed ethos about it and hopefully you'll find that to be an endearing characteristic of the show.

Some more photos from last year's inaugural event.
