Lol down south...
Literally no venues in the north past Birmingham. Caffeine and Machine is 2hr30 min drive from me as it is.

No venues but those drives! I have mates up in Manchester who run a driving group and they are out doing Wales, Dales, Peak District all the time...would rather have those on my doorstep than a car pub

Ye plenty of great driving but if you want to go for a meet its hours in every direction.
Thankfully this year ZFest is in Wigan so only like 25 miles from me!

Opened yesterday. Not too far from me, so I will make my way down there in the next few weeks.

I'm also not too far away and am planning to head over and check it out Saturday evening.
If anyone's free and wants to make it more of a thing maybe we could throw something together.

I visited on the Sunday opening day at the weekend. The building is good and it has lots of potential, but compared to the midlands one, it feels like a tiny venue.

Tom Caffeine & Machine bought a pub near Carsington Reservoir in the Peak District to turn into a C&M but the locals were up in arms and they didn’t get planning.

I would pop down to the Petrsfield one, fair old distance but it is on the 272 which is a very nice road

What’s the deal at C&M? The website wasn’t working very well when I looked, but it seemed as though you had to buy tickets just to turn up. Can you not just rock up for a coffee?

Tickets at the weekend and Wednesday evening but outside that free (not sure if you still need free tickets)

Weekends 9am to 4pm are ticketed, iirc it's £5 in advance, and you get some (I think 50% of the ticket value) off of your first drink.
Every Wednesday evening they do theme nights (also ticketed) one of which is German cars.
They also do occasionally have ad hoc events, which are also ticketer, so it's worth double checking the site before you go.
Anything outside of that is not ticketed, so acts as a normal pub.
Oh, and the tickets are per car, not per person.

The Motorist near Leeds? I haven't been yet as I was all set to go last year then my dog was ill
Also it's not a pub, but The Great British Car Journey slightly north of Derby does car meets, welcomes clubs, and has a cafe. I think some of their meets don't require you to buy a ticket to go round the museum (but you should if you've never done it).
