Retro Rides Gathering 2023 : 13th August at Mallory Park

[HoTWire]

Moving from our previous venue was a daunting task, doing it in a shorter time span than we usually have, made it doubly so. Running our Quick60 event on the Saturday on our own for the first time added a whole other level of madness to it all. In the end we needn't have been worried (well except for the two days the week before where we thought we'd have to cancel the whole thing), Quick60 went great, the Gathering worked and we walked away with four pages of things we'd do better next time.

So here we are, already prepping for Gathering 2023. Once again at Mallory Park, we are excited to be back on an August date; 12th August for Quick60, 13th for Gathering.

We learned a lot this year and have plans to re-arrange some things, tweak some things and radically overhaul some things.

We're expecting Quick60 to be a much much bigger event in 2023, and it is once again included with your Gathering camping ticket. We've tried not to pass on increasing costs to our attendees as far as we can, however everything across the board has increased prices from generators, to toilets, to printing. Which we've reflected in campsite pricing increase. We'll work to keep this price stable for a few years.

Pre-sale until 31st January will be £59, then £64 for early bird tickets until 14th July, where it will go to the standard price of £69.

Day ticket prices for both Quick60 and Gathering will be £15 for pre-sale until end of January, £17.50 for early bird and then £20 from 14th July. Kids (aged 5-16) will still be a flat fee of a fiver, and under 5's are still free.

We'll be announcing more of our plans for Gathering and Quick60 next year. We're looking forward to making the most of the venue and providing a great show for everyone.

Hi,
I believe the weekend camping ticket includes a small cost for spectator entry to quick 60, but then if we pay to compete in quick 60 there's no reduction for the small spectator cost. Is this something that could be integrated in future?
I can understand it would get rather complicated. I hope I'm not sounding overly tight, but then I am Scottish so...
I'm not particularly worried either way. Looking forward to both events!

Welcome to my world

I'm constantly asked why the track sessions at both RRW and RRG do not include entry to the event

I have to explain that it would require 3 different discount rates

1. Early bird camping discount

2. Late Camping discount

3. Advance Day ticket discount

Then I'd need to prove or see evidence of the originally purchased ticket and the whole world gets bogged down and unmanageable and trust me it's hard enough getting people to pay for the right activity/session etc

So we keep all track activities as a standalone

Quick question, is there catering on site on the Friday/Saturday night?

I'm just planning what food I need to bring.

Cheers

I thought the Circuit Cafe (a short walk across the track from the campsite) did some really nice food on the Saturday evening while the Tat auction was on - I think he was open on Friday night too

Sorry if has already been asked/is in an email but what time is camping available from on the Friday? I'm sure I read 3pm somewhere but I can't find it now.

We are hoping to get there for about 4:30pm and for the first time in about 5 years set up camp in daylight!

3PM is correct. 👍🏻

This may be a stupid question, but do camping tickets include camper vans?

What time do people normally arrive on Sunday ? Was thinking 10 ish as I have trouble getting out of bed 😂😂
