The Ram Inn, owned by the Firle estate, will be providing food, drink and entertainment with a Saturday night party.
Kids can also have a fun day out with fun fair rides, historic simulators, where you can imagine you’re driving a spectacular retro vehicle, tank rides and Mr Bean’s Mini – one of only two originals working in the UK!
The event is the brainchild of Henry Gage of the Firle Estate, who said:
“We are currently witnessing a revolution in automotive technology. So where better to see the cars of the future zoom along than on the same route as their forbears – up the stunning hills of the South Downs.
"Firle Park will provide the setting for a glamourous day out with delicious local foods and drink. The drive up to Firle Place will provide the space to get up close to these speed machines and see how fast they can accelerate. "
It’s sure to be a fresh and exciting event for the community and car enthusiasts alike.”
