Cinnamon Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Anyone ever been? Hubby & Cleo want to go,so I need to know if its worth it,if you can actually see any of the race,& if its worth paying extra to sit in the Grandstand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hils78 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Oooh I won tickets to the one at Longleat a couple of years ago - it was FANTASTIC. I would love to go again. You can get to see - is just worth keeping moving round till you get a good space. Do take food & drink with you because it is VERY expensive - needless to say I went hungry! oh & a good blanket for sitting on is a good idea too.

The Dogmother Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I've been and it's fabtastic, but you have to be a bit of a plane bore to like it. We go to an airshow every year, so it's right up our street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 I must admit it doesn't appeal to me but H&C are keen. The stand tickets are £35 each though,so I want to find out if its worth it,or if the riverbank will be good enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 For anyone who's into planes & flying, I can highly recommend this group - http://www.airraceuk.co.uk/index.php which OH & I belong to. It costs nothing to come along & watch (provided you happen to be near the appropriate airfield). The members come from every walk of life & are not the slightest bit stuffy & the social scene is brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chili pepper Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 OOhh I nearly posted this question myself today. I really want to go but with myself and hubby and 4 children all over 5 yrs it looks to be very expensive. I also wondered whether it was worth buying the grandstand tickets as opposed to the standing tickets. I also worry about the weather, there is nothing worse than 4 cold, miserable children on a day out. Is it worth paying the extra for the grandstand tickets?? Can you get a good view from the standing areas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
