Most professional event

I am a photo Journalist with a rather large car magazine and cover events all over the UK. This location is most professionally run, the staff in the dining room are polite and cheerful, the staff/management of Prescott could not do enough to help.

Prescott Drivers School

I recently had a day attending the Prescott Drivers School. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day, that gave me a good insight how challenging driving the hill at speed is.

Brilliant

A fabulous weekend surrounded by beautiful vintage cars. A great location. Great facilities and everything you could possibly need over the day. Loved the atmosphere, and will definitely be coming back! Even the price won't stop us, £25 per day for an adult.
