Sunday 8th June 2025 – this years Ratae run to Lamport Hall & Gardens. Free breakfast roll and tea or coffee, tulip route guide, rally plaque, proceeds go to the Leicester Musical Memory Box.
RATAE Runs have been organised by South Leicestershire MG Club since 2012, each time with proceeds going to that years chosen charity. This year’s RATAE Run is taking place on Sunday 8th June, starting with a breakfast roll and a hot drink at The White Horse in Broughton Astley. There will be a coffee stop part way to the destination of Lamport Hall and Gardens, where tickets are available to have a guided tour of the Hall or you can order when entering on the form below.
This event is open to all classics old and modern, regardless of manufacturer, and this year we are supporting the charity Leicester Musical Memory Box, who help people with dementia.
According to Lamport Hall website: ‘Developed from a Tudor Manor house, architecturally the Lamport Hall has been worked on by Smith of Warwick and William Burn, but is best known for its John Webb classical frontage. The gardens cover approximately 10 acres and include extensive herbaceous borders and shrubbery walks containing some Rare and interesting plants.
Why not sign up to the run below and enjoy a great day out with us, raising money for a very worthwhile cause?
