A spokesman for event added: 'All proceeds and profits raised go into a charitable trust which funds a wide range of causes and the estate does not take any of its expenses.

'As well as funding a local dementia unit and various cases of need locally, the charitable trust has contributed substantially towards building a new centre For a Community Care Nursing Fun where the local hospital closed.'

They added: 'It also supports local schools with equipment and funds a full 'i-mobility' scholarship at the Royal College of Art.

The event takes place on the same weekend as the estate's long-standing charity Country Fair which itself attracts around 20,000 visitors to the Georgian.

The fair features main ring events, flypasts, live music & entertainment, shopping and F1 powerboats on the lake.
