UPDATE – Families Day, Highnam Court on Saturday 12th August 2017 – 12:00 to 19:00pm
Join the Provincial Executive and the Festival Team from the Province of Gloucestershire Freemasons for a relaxing afternoon in the stunning gardens of Highnam Court for a charity fundraising event. Enjoy strawberries and cream with a glass of bubbly between strolling through the gardens, enjoying a family picnic in sumptuous surroundings with fine musical entertainment and of course visiting the bar. Highnam Court (just 2 miles west of Gloucester) is a Grade I listed mansion built in 1658 and surrounded by fine landscaped gardens, including four lakes, rockeries, a fernery, knot garden, a one acre rose garden and fine lawns. It was once the home of Sir Hubert Parry, the composer of “Jerusalem” and the present owner has restored the Victorian gardens and increased their size to 40 acres.
We had a very successful event at the Families Day at Highnam Court last year with 86 Classic vehicles in attendance.
Please will you let me know if you are able to bring a classic/interesting vehicle along to display at the Families Day at Highnam Court this year, which is being held on Saturday 12th August 2017 – 12:00 to 19:00.
Please note I have amended the start time from 14:00 to 12:00 as we are expecting a big turnout on the day.

This year there will be free admission for everyone attending in celebration of the tercentenary year of the formation of the first Grand Lodge in London, so you are welcome to invite friends and family along (but please let me know numbers so I can arrange for tickets to be provided for the strawberries, cream and bubbly).
For those intending to bring along a classic vehicle you can arrive and depart any time between 12:00 and 19:00. For those who have not been to Highnam Court, it is worth going just to see the magnificent gardens although there will be much more on offer on the day including an orchestra, opera singer, food and bar and entertainment for children.

John Slade
