All ‘Classic Cars’ and ‘Cars of Special Interest’ that do not fall into the categories above will be charged the normal visitor entry rates from 2026 and will be parked in the public car park. Owners of these vehicles are encouraged to take out PIMS membership this year and consequently be eligible for free entry in 2026, subject to membership renewal.

From 2026 PIMS members will be eligible to park in the Rear Orchard rather than the public car park, thus giving these vehicles access to preferential parking. Gate and Reception Volunteers will hold a list of valid membership numbers eligible for free entry / preferential parking.

➢ the vehicle was built or first registered more than 40 years ago
