purchased tickets for the car show organised by YouTuber Calvin, which took place on Father’s Day, and I have to say it was a fantastic event from start to finish. Everything was extremely well organised. We received a text message the evening before with all the information we needed, including the sat nav details, making it very easy to find. Access from the M1 heading north was straightforward and hassle-free. Despite it being an incredibly hot and humid day, everything ran smoothly. There were plenty of staff on hand directing traffic into the parking areas. There was a short queue to get in, but it moved steadily and was well managed. Once inside, the show was brilliantly laid out. There were hundreds of incredible cars on display, with many owners happy to sit with their vehicles and chat to visitors. For any petrolhead, it was an absolute dream. The variety of cars was amazing, from classics like the Ford Sierra right through to today’s latest supercars. Even though the event was busy, it never felt overcrowded or chaotic. What really stood out was the atmosphere. It was such a positive, friendly day, with families and enthusiasts enjoying themselves and people happily chatting together about their shared passion for cars. I took a packed lunch because of dietary restrictions, but my husband bought food on site and thought there was a great selection available. It was a little expensive, but that’s fairly typical at events like this. Calvin was very visible throughout the day, walking around meeting visitors, chatting to people and posing for photos. His brothers were equally approachable, which added to the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. There was also a stage where Calvin and his guests spoke to the crowd, which was a nice addition. Calvin came across as genuinely friendly, approachable and grateful for everyone’s support. It really felt like a family-orientated event that catered for all ages. We had a wonderful day and would definitely attend again. Huge credit to Calvin and everyone involved in organising such a well-run, enjoyable event. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great afternoon clay pigeon shooting. John the instructor was very knowledgeable, full of useful tips and was very approachable. Will definitely be back to try some of the other activities on site! Lots of other activities on site too, will be back with the kiddies to try gokarting. Nice bar situated on the second floor so you can get some excellent views of the race track.

We had a great time at the clay shooting range with our instructor John, or as I liked to call him - Big John 😁. He ensured we remained safe, gave us loads of great tips and was full of banter. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone who is interested. 5 stars

I was very pleasantly surprised about the facilities at the karting track. The food was excellent and the coffee was very good. No obligation to use the karting facilities yet we were able to watch all the races. Definitely will be returning.
