Frequently asked questions

My show vehicle is not listed on the eligible marques list?

If your vehicle is not listed but the manufacturer HAS ceased production, please select the ‘Other Not Listed’ option at the bottom of the list.

The maker of my classic car is still manufacturing, can I still attend the event?

If your vehicle is not eligible for the show and you share our appreciation for classic marques no longer manufactured, you are still welcome to visit the show for a great day out and to see the amazing selection of cars on show. To purchase a ticket for non-eligible vehicles, please select ‘Non Eligible Vehicle (current manufacturer)’ from the drop-down list of vehicles. Non-eligible vehicles will be parked in their own space with other similar cars away from the main show area.

I'm bringing my family, do I need to book tickets for them too?

No, you only need to purchase a ticket for your car. Tickets are charged per vehicle and will cover the driver and all passengers in your vehicle, including children.

We consider our pets to be part of our families too. Well behaved dogs are welcome but please keep them on a lead at all times as there are deer onsite.

Can my car club have a club stand?

Yes! Marque specific club stand space is available. If your car club is interested in organising a club stand, please contact us on info@festivalofthedead.uk.

Do we get discounted entry for the House and Gardens?

Absolutely! To gain half-priced entry to the House and Gardens, please present your show entry ticket at the Venue reception.

Will there be food vendors at the show?

Oh yes! The House also has a great restaurant for sit-down meals or take a stroll along to the Café where you’ll find a tasty selection of refreshments and light lunches. There’ll also be a refreshments stall on the main show field, and if it is a hot day (which of course we hope it will be!), the delicious ice cream parlour will be open too.
