🌳 Concours of Elegance, Disco's & More! | 28th August

TOGETHER WITH

Good morning, Surrey. Simon here! This is Inspired Surrey, your daily dose of local news that’s just as satisfying as a 4-day working week.

In today’s Inspired Surrey:

• Concours of Elegance comes to Hampton Court 🏰

• 80’s Silent Disco Coming Our Way 🕺

• Gatton Park Open Day Aimed At Kids 🧒

Let’s get to it!

Hampton Court Host Concours of Elegance for 2024 🏰🚗

If you’re a car enthusiast, mark your calendar for this Friday 30th to Sunday the 1st for the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace!

If you’re not a car enthusiast and you’re wondering what Concours of Elegance means, it’s a showcase of 60 of the rarest cars from around the world - many of which have never been seen before in the UK.

It’s potentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for car enthusiasts to have a good look at these cars up close!

You’ll also see hundreds of other interesting vehicles on display, including entries for The Club Trophy. 🏆 Now in its eighth year, The Club Trophy invites the UK’s top car clubs to showcase their best examples, with the winning vehicle earning a spot in next year’s main Concours event!

You may have car event overload with American Day at Brooklands Museum approaching, but Concours of Elegance will be a good’un.

Tickets aren’t the cheapest at around £65 for an adult ticket - click here to find out more details.

Self-care doesn’t have to be a luxury!

• You’re in the middle of an intense training prep for an upcoming event.

• You’re 6 months pregnant and your back is in agony.

• You’re spending 8 hours day, hunched over at a desk slaving away in the heat.

Surely, you can all relate to one of the above? Well, that’s where Jemma at Surrey Massage Studio comes in.

She runs a small, local, business, and it’s all about a personalised service with a range of massages available to suit your needs! Take a look at her website here.

Shhhh.. It’s a Silent Disco! 💃🕺

Yesssss! I love a silent disco, the only music night where you have the option to dance the night away, or slip those headphones off and have a conversation!

Back by popular demand, the team at Silent Discos in Incredible Places are thrilled to announce a second chance to get involved for a spectacular 80s Silent Disco!

There’s two events, one on Friday, August 30th, and one on Saturday, August 31st, 2024, but unfortunately Saturday has sold out!

It is ridiculous how quickly these are getting sold out, so don’t miss your chance to relive the magic of the 80s.. and of all the places to do it, at Guildford Cathedral!

Find out more about Friday Tickets.

This is strictly a 18+ event! Valid photographic I.D. may be requested on entry.

Where Are We Wednesday! 📸

One of my favourite features, it’s simple, we’ll take a photo of somewhere in Surrey, and you tell us where!

Go on, where are we.. answer coming on Friday! 😄
