Stanford Hall 2012 - Sunday 6th May 2012
The 2012 Stanford Hall event will take place on Sunday 6th May. For newcomers to the event, Stanford Hall is a stately home set in large grounds in open countryside on the South Leicestershire border with Warwickshire and Northamptonshire. It is located in the quiet village of Stanford-on-Avon which is 5 miles south-east of Lutterworth and 1 mile east of Swinford Village. It is seen by many as the year’s premier show but still manages to retain a relaxed family friendly atmosphere.
Highlights
Concours d'Elegance
The Concours d'Elegance is said by many to be the best in the country, specialising in cars of original specification, with eighteen classes this year covering the whole of the Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche ranges plus a Super Class for all of last year’s winners.
Trading
This is a major part of the Stanford Hall event with well in excess of 100 traders meeting all of your Volkswagen Audi needs from that exclusive NOS part you have been looking for, through service items, books and memorabilia – in fact everything associated with your Volkswagen.
Catering
There are a number of catering stands on site ranging from doughnuts and burgers through to traditional fish and chips and speciality coffee, or you could try a leisurely visit to Stanford Hall’s own newly refurbished Tea Rooms, conveniently located in the courtyard.
Club displays
For many years now Stanford Hall has seen many owners’ club displays, none more famous than the Split Screen Van Club display which, last year, consisted of over 200 vehicles. Also prominent is the display of Historic Volkswagens promoted with the help of the Historic VW Owners Club which takes pride of place in front of the Hall.
Cars for Sale
