Now in its 33rd year, and seen by many as the Gem of the VW show season, the 2009 Stanford Hall event will take place on Sunday 3rd May 2009. For newcomers to the event, Stanford Hall is a stately home set in large grounds in open countryside on the South Leicestershire border. It is in the quiet village of Stanford-on-Avon, which is 5 miles south-east of Lutterworth, and 2 miles east of Swinford. Seen by many as one of the shining examples of the show-season, this is a very relaxed show which is also family friendly.
The Concours d'Elegance is said by many to be the best in the country, with seventeen classes this year, catering for the whole Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche range, plus a Superclass for all of last year's class winners.
This is a major part of the Stanford Hall event, with over 100 traders present last year, catering for most of your VW/Audi needs, from that elusive part you've been looking for for months, through service items and books, memorabilia and models to owner's club stands.
After several years of success we once again welcome a traditional line up of Historic Volkswagens and displays put on by a number of Specialist Car Clubs.
There are a number of catering stands on site ranging from doughnuts, burgers, through to traditional fish & chips. Or you could try a leisurely visit to Stanford Hall's own tea rooms.
