Wish You Were Here - at Pink Floyd star's £1.2m event

An annual charity event held at the home of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason returns this weekend, having raised £1.2m since it first began in 2013.

The garden event - hosted by Nick and Annette Mason at Middlewick House in Corsham - raises money for Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance and The Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust (WBVT), which supports elderly people.

Organisers said visitors must have pre-booked parking after last year's event – which saw around 15,000 people view the gardens and collection of super and classic cars – led to long traffic queues.

The star, who featured on classics such as Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, said: "We think it is about £1.2m raised…it is extraordinary".

Mason said his car display would include a replica of the first motorcar - the 1895 Mercedes Benz - and other motoring Animals such as a Ferrari 250 GTO and a Maserati 250F, the "Grand Prix car that Stirling Moss drove".

"I've sort of retired from motor racing myself, I love running the cars but there's something about an 80-year-old on the grid I'm not entirely comfortable with", he added.

The two-day event will also feature stalls, a food court, raffle, live music, farm animals and a child entertainment zone, with all money raised going directly to the two charities.

"The Bobby Van is a rather wonderful charity especially for those over 60 supporting victims who have been burgled or scammed - it's very much a Wiltshire endeavour."

Both Nick and his wife said Learning To Fly had profound impact on their choice of charity to support.

"Both Annette and myself fly so that makes us much more conscious of what the air ambulance can do and does do", said Mason.

WBVT Director Jennie Shaw thanked the Masons for their generosity and said money raised would "provide the equivalent of one Bobby Van operator for an entire year and will help keep Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance operational for five days".

Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance CEO Barbara Gray said: "We can't thank our ambassadors Nick and Annette Mason enough for hosting this event again" to raise funds for two "essential charities in the community".

Parking tickets are sold out, but tickets at the gate will be available for pedestrians or those who have parked elsewhere.

Corsham Police have advised motorists in the area to allow extra time as there "may be increased traffic and some delays on the A4 across both days".
