And for those who don’t want to miss the Belgian Grand Prix, there will be a chance to watch it live on a big screen in Dean Hall at the school.

People are invited to sponsor a Ferrari or even to ride in one during the parade.

To sponsor one of the cars people can pay £50 to have an A4 laminated poster advertising their business, or their own name or their child’s tied to the front of a Ferrari. To ride in the parade and sit in one of the Ferrari’s the cost is £25.

The event is being held to raise money for a new pavilion on the Chesham Field at Berkhamsted School and is being organised by ambassadors for The David Case Pavilion Campaign. One of the organisers is Nigel Chiltern-Hunt, an old boy of the school and currently the chairman of the Ferrari Owners Club.

David Case was a pupil at Berkhamsted School and played in many teams at a number of sports. He died at the age of 18 when he was involved in a car accident while on his way to a hockey match.

David had two brothers and they, and his family, have donated £250,000 in his name to convert the existing pavilion into a first class facility for future sportsmen and women both at the school and for the local community.

The pavilion will have a lift and disabled facilities.

The campaign is aiming to raise £1.5m through events and donations from current parents and pupils, former students, local people and businesses.

Entry to the festival at the Quad will be £2.
