Spectators

A Great Day Out for All the Family
Historic Shelsley Walsh hill climb with crowds watching a French racing blue Bugatti
Spectators pack the hill to watch Kay Petre in her Type 35 Bugatti on June 9th 1934.

Spectators will be most welcome at Pre-War Shelsley on Saturday and there will be plenty for all the family to see and do. Parking is free and your spectator ticket will give you access to the Club Field, the Paddock and the hill path that leads right up to the finishing line. There will be plenty of catering and full bar services available all day, including hot meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner after the hill closes.

Take the opportunity to inspect the mouthwatering array of pre-war cars and chat to their owners. Browse the display and trade stands in the Club Field and climb the hill on foot for commanding views of the climbing cars while taking in the spectacular view across the Teme Valley.

The Shelsley Walsh water mill will also be open and running during the day and, for a small donation, take home a bag or two of stone-ground flour, ground before your very eyes.

A possible highlight of the day will be a visit by a historic aircraft the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, for which a request has been submitted to the Ministry of Defence. Watch out for news from the RAF as it breaks on this website.
