SUMMARY:HLR Summer Gathering and Picnic 2026
DESCRIPTION:Six weeks out and already over sixty Lotus are confirmed for the fourth Historic Lotus Register Summer Gathering and Picnic — and your invitation is open. Hosted\, as ever\, by Richard Hinton at his home in East Hertfordshire (between Standon and Bishops Stortford)\, the event runs from 11:00 on Sunday 21/06/2026 through to late afternoon\, in a meadow setting beside the lake that has become one of the friendliest fixtures in our calendar. \nThe timing could not be more apt. 2026 is a year of Lotus milestones\, and Richard has chosen to make this an informal celebration of all of them at once: 70 years of the Lotus Eleven; 70 years of Club Lotus itself; 60 years of the Elan S3 and the Europa S1; 50 years of the Lotus Drivers Club; 50 years of the first Esprit S1 deliveries and of The Spy Who Loved Me; and 30 years of the Elise. Early and rare cars\, competition machinery and restoration projects on trailers are particularly welcomed for the centrepiece display. \nA few practicalities. There is no formal admission charge – a £10-per-car cash contribution at the gate covers the marquee\, toilets and rally-field set-up. Bring your own picnic chairs\, a table and a gazebo if you have one; the permanent wooden seating area has been extended but covers only about a third of expected numbers\, and the meadow rewards a well-pitched parasol. Children and dogs (on a lead) are welcome. There is plentiful parking for tow cars and trailers. If you wish to set up a small stall to sell parts\, books or memorabilia by the lake\, do mention it at booking; the pitch is free of charge.
