LAND ROVER WEEKEND

SAT 27TH & SUN 28TH JUNE

*TICKETS*

Join us for a memorable 2 DAY Land Rover Weekend at Compton Abbas Airfield, set high in the stunning Dorset countryside. With panoramic views across the Blackmore Vale befitting many a Land Rover and Countryside enthusiast.

On each day, Serve On – the international emergency response team, will be lending a hand as marshals and guest hosts to direct you to where all the interesting things are (including food, first aid and the loos!)

LAND ROVERS Bringing together a fantastic mixture of Land Rovers from across the decades, from early Series 1 and Series 2 vehicles through to more modern Defenders, each with its own story and character. Among them are working examples such as fire response vehicles, featuring some daily work horses from Dorset and Wiltshire Fire Rescue Service, alongside lovingly restored classics and well-used enthusiasts’ trucks, showing just how versatile these vehicles have been over the years. The variety makes the display particularly special, as visitors can see the evolution of the design while hearing directly from the people who own and care for them. Creating plenty of opportunity to lean over the bonnets, swap stories, and chat with owners about their vehicles, restorations, adventures, and the shared passion that keeps these iconic Land Rovers on the road!

Lore of the Sky will be serving fantastic food. Sky high flavour where countryside charm meets bold barbecue tradition. Our kitchen, powered by fire and smoke, bringing you rich, slow-cooked dishes packed with character. With menus featuring all the BBQ favourites and lighter bites to grab and go. The Smoking Barrels and the Horsebox Bar will all be open and keeping you refreshed, while you stroll around the vendor stands.

David Vincent – JLR specialist parts supplier will be onsite to discuss and cater to all your essential Land Rover items you need to keep your pride and joy in tip top condition.

All Sweets will be returning with a Pop Up pick-and-mix sweets stall, for all your humbug and sugary jelly needs.

LIVE MUSIC – Saturday 27th June will feature acoustic duo Deadwood & Whiskey. While Sunday 28th June, local legend Conor Smith will return with his guitar.

Veterans with Dogs will have a charity stand raising awareness of the UK’s first Charity organisation training Assistance Dogs for British ex-servicemen and women with service-related mental health conditions.

The Steamy Pheasant, a one-of-a-kind mobile sauna, will be on hand to showcase their truly unique wellness escape and talk about all the relaxation and stress relieving health benefits.

Artful Charlie – local renowned sign writer and mural artist will be demonstrating her skills with the chance of booking to have a go on the day.

The Nowhere Forge – travelling blacksmith, Simon, will be firing up his mobile forge! Bringing skills, ancient and new, to demo his work live. There will be hand crafted metal work to buy and bookable courses. One the day you can even get the opportunity to try your hand at blacksmithing.

Activity and arts table for our younger guests to enjoy while their parents talk mechanics and adventures (!)

Whether you are an LR invitee displaying your vehicle, a visitor looking to meet fellow owners, or simply soaking up the Dorset scenery, it’s a fantastic opportunity to experience great vehicles, great company, and one of the most scenic airfields in the South West.
