War more than Peace
The event in question has been the subject of long running discussion on the MV forums , there were various opinions being aired beginning from back in the Hop Farm days. Opinions were for and against with some complaints about poor on-site facilities , exorbitant price entry for military vehicle owners and poor management.
Not sure of the situation now but the original Hop Farm W&P show was a registered private business , not a charity event. A friend in the UK had a look at the business registration records and found W&P show listed as a private business with two owners.
I would not take any restored vehicle to an event that charges entry fees . The majority of vintage car shows here usually have free entry for restored vehicles. Without restored vehicles attending , these classic car shows would not be a viable operation. Charging for entry is charging the owners an extra cost above the restoration cost.
