How the day runs
Collection in the City of London is wherever suits: home, club or hotel. An executive saloon is the usual choice for a pair. From there it is the A4, M4 and A46 to Badminton House. For drop-off, the organisers' own rules apply. A one-way system runs on the Saturday. Cars must use the designated drop-off point in Badminton Village, approaching from the south or west, not the north or through the Park; otherwise they cannot leave until after 14:00. Every car needs a parking pass. Between your arrival and the last of the day, the chauffeur stays within easy reach. Back at the City of London about 2 hours and 9 minutes after leaving the gates, give or take the exit queue.
