Britain’s iconic 4X4 off-roader gets a toast with the LANDROVERmax, dubbed as “UK’s ultimate festival for Land Rover lovers.” The event scheduled for the month of August, welcomes all types, models, colors, shapes and sizes of the 62-year old all-terrain, all-weather- all purpose 4X4 utility vehicle that is known as the father of the modern day sport utility vehicle or SUVs.
A Long Weekend for the Event
The LANDROVERmax event is expected to take place on a weekend stating on a Saturday, August 28 up to Monday August 30. Day tickets cost £14 if purchased on any of the event days for adults, but if you get them in advance, it will only cost £10. The long weekend promises to be a lot of fun combining camping, muddy entertainment and caravanning at the Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire. There will be a parade of classic Land Rovers over the years and will include demonstrations of Land Rover owner and driver skills such as winching, off-roading and stunt driving.
Event Activities
Visitors to the event are enjoined to come in with their Land Rovers of whatever vintage and style and include modern day Range Rovers, Discovery and Freelanders. They will have the rare opportunity to maneuver their own Land Rovers over an off-road terrain specially designed by the Land Rover Company and featuring what organizers promise to be an “exciting and challenging” course through wooded forests and hills. For Land Rover owners who don’t want their prized possession soiled, this may not be for them.
The off-road course will each be one-hour sessions and will cost participants £12 per course which include the benefit of expert Land Rover marshals deployed to offer advice and assistance on the proper handling the Land Rovers through the tricky circuitous terrain.
The editorial team of the Land Rover Monthly publication will be on hand at all times during the sessions to provide off-road restoration assistance such as vehicle repairs and mechanical advice as well as showcasing some of the Land Rover vehicles featured in its magazine.
An alternate activity of Land Rover fans will have tent-pitching on the side or taking along a Land Rover caravan for three to six nights starting at £20 per night. This is a value bargain at it already includes the entry ticket price to the LANDROVERmax shows.
