Epic routes, stunning countryside, gourmet eats, happy vibes!About this EventTHE BIG WEEKENDER, PR #6Devon & Cornwall - March 27–29*Optional early arrival: Thursday March 26There’s a moment you get when in Devon & Cornwall - when the roads open up, the coastline turns wild & the Atlantic air hits - where you realise this is exactly what a Porsche weekend should feel like!Few parts of the country rival the raw, rugged beauty of these two counties: dramatic cliffs and wild Atlantic horizons, historic towns & tucked-away fishing villages, lighthouses standing proud against the elements & castles steeped in legend.The roads change character mile by mile; from fast, flowing stretches to technical, rewarding sections that keep you fully engaged from start to finish.This isn’t a “let’s see where we end up” kind of trip. The entire weekend has been carefully built, researched & pre-driven by local hosts Leon & Stew. Nothing is accidental: the routes are varied & exhilarating, the stops are genuinely worth stopping for & the pacing is designed so you can enjoy it all without it feeling rushed.And because it’s a small, carefully controlled group (limited to 10 cars) the experience stays bespoke, calm & intimate. The kind of weekend where friendships form naturally over great coffee, standout local food, scenic stops, sightseeing & the occasional “we so need to drive that again!"?‍☠️ ?‍☠️ ?‍☠️The FormatA relaxed 2 night getaway with brilliant stops & shared meals.
