Think that is the South bank?

Good idea Tiny , don't know why I didn't think of that!

If we are going to park inside then it can take 1-2 hours to get out dependant upon numbers, etc.
Far better to chill and have a BBQ,
Burgers, Oh yes.

Good minds think alike & all that

I have just got of the phone to KevD , Kev suggested parking round by the top of Druids ? ( Said you get a great view there & Lots of crashes as well )

Im easy & With you guy's on this one as ive never been before , But one thing that i would add is that everyone that i have mnentioned this to has said that we will need to arrive early to get ourselves set up & the cars parked

I have done many events at Brands [used to have a VIP pass]

Early is essential

2 hour exists are not unheard of so relax and BBQ is a great idea


Still may be up for this

Taken from their web site.

Weekend Camping (Gate) £15.00
Child Ticket (12 and Under) FREE

Not sure if it means you still have to order a child ticket but don't have to pay for it,and if you are over 12 you count as an adult.

When ordering on-line, you can order childs tickets, but £0 cost. Any over 12 = Adult!, so any 13-17 year olds are obviously welcome in the bars as they are Adults!?

Touring cars must be more important than me and the baby then , so if I do drop on that day I will phone you and let you know if you have a son or daughter............wouldn't want you to miss the touring cars now would I.
