Pity it doesnt have corners. I'd go if it was at a circuit.

It’s more expensive than silverstone, Mallory, brands and I’ve not forgotten last year witnessing security at the gate confiscating beer..fair enough it was in bottles my mistake...but hiding it to keep for themselves, not mine I wasn’t letting it happen ! The food outlets are all overpriced and Santa pod know it I don’t like it anymore The place is not for me thanks

Glad people are sharing why they won't go to this event, seems the ideal place to be doing that, in a thread where we're attempting to get a club stand together.
Pricing seems to be about equal with most events.

Asked a question, answered it honestly There’s not too many more pro RR than me I try to support everything RR do But the way we were treated by Santa pod last year was awful......but the doughnut all night music brigade were left alone... just my opinion, good luck with the RR stand

Can’t say I’ve noticed it being any different to any other circuit/show/track etc. Everyone knows a burger is gonna be £6.00 odd or whatever. Tbh last time I went they had ‘insisted’ every food outlet sold tea & coffee for just £1.00. Which I thought was a good idea. It’s an awesome place & just proves it when you see the level of teams that turn up to race there. Americans & Scandinavian’s in particular. The Yanks don’t have to come here they have a huge scene there, but guess what, they do, cos’ it’s the b0ll0x

Santa Pod has always been like going back in time 50 years. I'm going anyway because I like looking at cool old cars

As far as Santa Pod goes, yes it isn't local-car-show-in-a-field cheap, but there is always talk about the place being closed for housing to be built, so if people keep going, hopefully that will stop that! Once it's gone, it's gone. There aren't loads of places where you can run your car down a strip.
I only go to one show a year there now, as it does get expensive, but this show just seems worth it. There is always such a great range of retro vehicles.
I never have a problem getting the minimum numbers for a stand, so a few people in here must agree!

In terms of value...I've been to plenty of car shows where I've paid £10 and seen everything in 1-2 hours.
At Santa Pod, I'd happily sit and watch the drift cars for 30 mins awaiting a crash (and did exactly this last year, even got hit by plastic debris!), then watch some jet drag cars, then watch a V12 merlin spitfire engine fire on all cylinders, then check out some BMX displays, then chat to some RRs. 3 hours gone and I haven't even checked out the show and shine yet.

Pod is my spiritual home. Love it love it love it - and the Retro Show is one of the coolest. Where else can you see the De-Tamaso Owners club mixing it with Simca's, Talbots, Fords and a V10 Viper powered VW Pick up? All for £10-15

Loved having my Capri on the stand a few years back. Great memories! The Retro Show is one of my favourites 👍
