CANCELLED - Replica & Self Build Festival Stoneleigh 2026
Martin Aldred - Shows & Events Coordinator posted a topic in Local Area Meets, Events & Kit Car Shows
UPDATE: 28-4-26 The Event Organiser has Advised today that the Replica & Self Build Festival has been cancelled due to lack of ticket sales: Dear Ticket Holder I’m writing to you personally to let you know that the Replica & Self Build Festival has been cancelled. This has been an extremely difficult decision to make. We had assembled what I truly believe would have been the largest gathering of kit and replica manufacturers seen for many years, alongside a full weekend of festival entertainment at a fantastic venue. A huge amount of passion, time, and effort went into planning the event. However, despite significant advertising investment and extensive promotion, ticket sales did not reach the level required to deliver the experience and atmosphere you rightly deserve. Rather than proceed with an event that could not meet expectations, I felt it was the responsible decision to cancel. I am genuinely sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience this will cause. Please be assured that all ticket holders will receive a full refund. Refunds will start being processed tomorrow and will be completed no later than Friday 8 May, with payments returned automatically to the original method used. No action is required from you. Thank you sincerely for your support and belief in the event. I regret that we weren’t able to bring this one across the finish line, and I truly appreciate everyone who backed the vision. -
What is a Shows and Events Coordinator? Principally, the role is to provide a repeatable format for three or more shows and events a year (inc’ Stoneleigh) and to provide members with the behind the scenes organisation and easy access to the kit and equipment needed for these. The role will not be one of 100% organisation, but as the title suggests, will coordinate to enable Members to do their own thing easily and quickly. There is much work to be done over the coming weeks/months to get this into shape but it’s getting there. I know there is a keenness to have a big presence at Gaydon this summer and I’ll work to achieve that. Beyond Gaydon, I’ll be looking for further suggestions of the bigger events and shows we should be attending and we’ll also be incorporating WSC into some of those as well as tagging along on some of their own initiatives. I’d welcome further thoughts on the role and the events you want to be a part of but for now, generally what we will aim to offer is as follows: Central location for storing all of the show and events kit and equipment Easy access to the kit and an audit trail Assistance with transportation of kit if necessary Liaison with show and event organisers to get ourselves booked in A how-to guide to enable Members to more easily organise themselves Management of the show and event stock, replacing older items as necessary Engagement at WSCC Committee level to ensure we have all we need for a successful event I’ll set out the full aims at some stage soon and would welcome comment and feedback when the time comes. For now though, I think a number of key things need to be addressed: Full audit of our kit, replacing things not up to par Documented how-to guide on getting the lit the kit you need for your event Set a date and coordinate Gaydon this summer As has been said, the role is one of coordination and it needs you to suggest and run your own event. I will do the back-end work and make everything available to you and I suspect we should consider covering everything from local car shows, county shows, etc. some of the bigger sprints, the big name car shows and meet your neighbours events and perhaps an annual coast to coast or similar. There is a form attached, use this request WSCC kit and to start to coordination ball rolling for your suggested event. Thoughts welcomed, be gentle… request form.docx
