Risk Assessment
Online Ticketing Only
Risk Assessment
We have conducted a full COVID-19 risk assessment, in accordance with UK Government "Visitor Economy" and HSE guidelines. We will also be taking into account advice issued by Public Health England, the Local Director of Public Health, and the local authority in the run up to the event.
You can read or download the Risk Assessment, using the link below.
Please note that the assessment and plans may be subject to revision in the light of changing circumstances
We will be issuing shortened guides and checklists to our club stand exhibitors and also instructions to individuals displaying vehicles.
This page gives a brief overview of some of the planned measures.
We're Good To Go
Online Ticketing Only
Risk Assessment
We have signed-up to the Visit England scheme and been certified as meeting the new industry standard.
As part of the scheme, we have committed to adhering to Government guidelines on social distancing, cleanliness and contact tracing.
An ‘alert’ system ensures that we will be notified if there are changes to the official guidance.
A call-handling service from Visit England provides support and assessors may carry-out random spot-checks to ensure our event is adhering to the guidance.

The showground will be laid out to allow you to move comfortably through the displays and stands, via a one-way system. There will still be time and space to stop and admire the exhibits whilst keeping a safe gap.
The layout will be planned to avoid pinch points and queuing. There will be separate entrance and exit gates.
