With Satkar of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the highest priority, many venues were looked at and an ideal venue was found: Wymeswold Airfield, Loughborough, LE12 5SQ. Wymeswold Airfield is an 3 runway ex-RAF Airfield and is now used for farming and track days.
The Airfield is centrally located just off Junction 24 of the M1 and has more than enough space to accomodate the Sangat & Transport as was proven during the 300 Saal Gurgaddi Divas Event last year which saw around 50,000 sangat attending throughout the day with no problems whatsoever. The event will be signposted all the way from M1 Junction 24 on the day. Look out for our signs on the day looking like the one here:
