ZEDfest (North West) 18th August 2024

ZEDfest 2024

Good afternoon everyone.

As most of you will know, the 2023 ZEDfest was potentially the last one to be held at its current location (Shepshed).

It’s not my place to go into the “why’s and wherefore’s” as the owners are doing a sterling job in fighting a much bigger and wider battle well beyond ZEDfest.

However since hearing of its potential demise, I’ve been in contact with the owners and have reached an agreement for me to run a ZEDfest (North West) 2024 Event!

The key word here is “North” as the location will be in Merseyside, not the Midlands. This doesn’t mean that only “Northerners” can attend! As with the original event, exhibitors from anywhere are welcome provided you’re driving a Z1, Z3, Z4 or Z8 (or even an Alpina Roadster!) Likewise, visitors are welcome from everywhere!

The confirmed date is;

SUNDAY 18th AUGUST 2024

The location postcode is; WA11 8AE.

More details will follow in the next few days but I just wanted to make people aware that ZEDfest is still alive and kicking.

Certainly interested if this goes ahead.
Would be a shame if Zedfest died out.

 

[Mr Tidy]

That sounds like a great idea - I'd definitely be interested.

I pass this place regularly. Great location right on the Rainford By-Pass close to St Helens, 10-15 mins from Jct.23 M6. Only 20 mins away from me so I'll definitely be there !

Would love to go to one of these so good to see it is still going. However it's a long way from me so will need planning and a longer pass, can't exactly just drop by.

I’ve been meaning to get to one of these. Was sad that it might have ended last year. Definitely interested in going. It’s near 200 miles for me. So I’d be looking to stay that way for the weekend I think. Definitely do fancy it though

Just love the idea of meeting up with some of the legends on here that I’ve not met
