South East Festival Italia @ Brands Hatch

[ben]

Hi all,

(I hope @ben doesn’t mind me adding this)…

As camping is free for the weekend for this event, I am taking the opportunity to. If anyone would like to pitch up and relax along side, feel free to join me!

I’ll be arriving on the Saturday for as close to 12:00 midday when the site opens, then relaxing (hopefully in the sun) with a fire. (Might have to give the car a clean too, ready for Sunday.)

Offer is open to all attending so let me know if you’d like to relax too!

I didn't even know there was camping!

Well I will be there on the Saturday if anyone would like to join!

I have received the map today of where you will be set up for the stand. Would you like us to me you there, or would you like to meet somewhere else and drive up together? As mentioned I will be camping over so will be there as the gates open.

Many thanks

That sounds like a really cool idea. I can do that, I'll be back in time

Hi All,

After lurking this forum for the last 2 years I've finally made an account in an attempt to join you guys at Festival Italia.

I see the sign up link in this thread however I didn't want to sign up using it without being a member, does anybody know if that now I have an account on the forum I can register to bring my Bravo and display it on the club stand? if not ill be coming regardless i just thought it would be nice to fill the numbers.

I am also interested in the free camping mentioned above, if anybody has any insight on that topic please fill me in!

TIA

Kind regards

Here is the link to add your car to the stand:
https://displaymyvehicle.msv.com/ca...ly?group=0e657287-b653-4cba-8a20-85aad0af6853

Camping is free

- There is a road to the left of the main entrance which will take you round the back of the hotel and along a road adjacent to the circuit.

The first left that you come to will be the camping field where you can pitch anywhere. Normally the site just has a toilet block available for the Sunday only events, no showers.

Hi Ben,

Here is the map:

Furthermore, a brief guide to where the stand is located:

Very easy to find, head straight through the main gate and carry on going straight following the pit straight. This will take you past the stands and shops which will all be on your right hand side.

When you reach the other side, near Kentagon restaurant (which will be on your left). We should then be able to pass through the gate and then park up on the right hand side.

Putting in the following will take you straight the the aforementioned restaurant:

For anyone that is interested in the free camping, here’s a route to the field:

As you approach the main entrance, to the left there will be a small side road that leads behind the hotel. Follow the road till you find your first left as seen on the map. There is a small white picket hut on the entrance (for when you have to pay for camping), drive straight past it and pick your spot!

Oh a totally different location to last year when we were on the grass at C3.

Luckily I brought the metal feet for the flags then!

Going to be a tight squeeze with everyone there I think!

I was just thinking that

You might be in charge of getting us the best spot

Hi all, are there many spaces left on the FF stand? While since I've been on the forum, but I will be taking my HGT down for its first ever show. Been rushing to try and get a few jobs done on it, but hotel is booked and no backing out now (400 mile round trip for us). Wasn't sure if would be accepted when I applied so thought I would let fate decide

Do you have a vehicle display pass? They have the club name, in this case Fiat Forum, on them.
If not get one via the link on the first post. £12.50 includes entry for one person.
