Visitors to Chiddingstone Castle on Sunday 31 May 2015 can admire over 200 classic cars which are stopping at Chiddingstone Castle in Kent while taking part in the London to Brighton Classic Car Run.
The cars will be arriving from 10.30am and will be displayed in front of the Castle. All the cars taking part will be over 25 years old and some will date back to the 1930's. Last year the oldest car on the run was a 1936 MG PB supercharged.
The Castle will also be open for visitors to see the extraordinary exhibitions inside which include Denys Eyre Bower's study complete with handwritten letters but also his remarkable collections of Ancient Egyptian artefacts, Japanese Swords, Lacquer and armour together with Stuart, Jacobite and Buddhist pieces. Many of the paintings on display are from the reign of King Charles the I.
Visitors can also walk through a number of recreated Victorian rooms including a kitchen and scullery. The Castle library is also open to visitors for the first time this year.
The Castle's beautiful grounds include a grade II listed orangery, a rose garden, a lake and the new 'Fields of Eternity' Egyptian garden.
