This Father’s Day, ditch the novelty socks and aftershave and give dad an experience he’ll never forget. On Saturday 27 June 2026, the stunning Falmer Court estate in Sussex will play host to the Falmer Court Classic & Sports Car Meet and VIP Dinner – a unique celebration of luxury cars, fine dining and entertainment.

Set within the beautiful grounds of Falmer Court, home to hairdresser and industry entrepreneur Mark Woolley (who many of you will recognise from last week’s LAB session in Brighton).
From 10am to 4pm, visitors can immerse themselves in an impressive showcase of classic and specialist sports cars, curated by renowned automotive expert James Skziler. Alongside the incredible vehicle display, guests can enjoy live entertainment, wine tasting, artisan food stalls and a selection of local produce and crafts.
At just £5 entry, the daytime event offers excellent value and a fantastic opportunity to explore one of Sussex’s most picturesque private estates.

Elevate your experience
But for those looking to make the occasion extra memorable, the event’s VIP Dinner experience is the perfect gift for that special father.
Running from 6pm until midnight, the VIP evening will take place in the breath-taking Great Thatched Barn, where guests will enjoy a delicious three-course dinner crafted from the finest local produce. The evening will also feature special guest speaker Jodie Kidd, alongside VIP guests, live entertainment and a charity auction.
Whether your dad is passionate about performance cars, loves great food and wine, or simply enjoys unique experiences, the Falmer Court Classic & Sports Car Meet offers something far more memorable than the usual Father’s Day gifts.
Individual VIP tickets are priced at £165, with tables of ten available for £1,500.
Demand for tickets is likely to be high, so book today to avoid disappointment.
