Wheels up at National Day
This year’s National Day will invite visitors to test their skills in a Wheel Change Challenge. Held at Whittlebury Park on Sunday 3rd August, the Challenge will involve changing a single tyre that is mounted on a frame – so not as complicated as an F1 Pit Stop but every second will count as the fastest time of the day will win a trophy. At just £1 per go, we’ll be raising money for Headway, the brain injury association.

If you’re not a fan of concours but still want to compete, show off your vehicle in our equivalent of a ‘pride of ownership’. Enter The RIWAX Trophy, our new fund competition. Open to any model of any age, find out more here. |

Make a weekend of it
Why not make a weekend of National Day? On Saturday there will be a free tour around the area taking place for those wanting to explore. Then on the evening, why not enjoy our gala dinner evening for just £45 per person. Whittlebury Hall has sold out all of its hotel rooms but there are more hotels in the near vicinity. Book both via JDC HQ.
