simon king Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 On 5th/6th July 2014 Trent Valley Area of the MVT, in association with the Queen’s Royal Lancers/Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Regiments Museum and the Thoresby Estate will be presenting Thoresby 2014: D-Day plus 70. The event is being held in Thoresby Park, Ollerton, Nottinghamshire NG22 9EP which is just 10 minutes from the A1/A57/A614 junction and is within relatively easy travelling distance of the South and East Midlands, East Anglia and Yorkshire. This relaxed Military Vehicle gathering, in only its second year, is held in an ample parkland setting which was used as a training ground during the Second World War in the run-up to D-Day. Some of that infrastructure remains. We can offer good catering facilitites, a resident military museum and a good range of shops and facilities within the adjacent Thoresby Hall Courtyard. Brass Bands and specialty catering and beverage stands are available on the Sunday afternoon as well as other attractions. The BBMF Dakota will make a flypast also on the Sunday.. There is ample parking for support vehicles and camping/caravanning is available on the Estate's own permanent site. For culture vultures we can even offer reduced price tickets for anybody wanting to see the Thoresby Players production of Macbeth – in a WW1 setting – taking place in the Riding School at Thoresby on the Saturday evening If you would like to attend this event – already listed in the MVT, Classic Military Vehicles and Military Machines schedules – please contact me as follows Home tel 01909 476991, Mobile 07802 439324, e-mail simon_king@talktalk.net Simon King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon king Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 If you fancy a weeked or even just a Sunday , relaxing next to your vehicle, sipping wine or beer and listening to brass bands in a country park setting in North Nottinghamshire with easy access from the A1 then the Thoresby show on 5th/6th July might just be for you. There's emergency services displays, modelling displays, a militaria stall, acres of parkland in which to walk, shops, a cafe, food and beverage stands. and even a resident military museum as well a something for the kids. The BBMF Dak will be doing a fly-by If you're interested contact me at simon_king@talktalk.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
