Classic Car and Bike Day

Roll back the years and join us for a friendly classic car and bike show. See fabulous elderly vehicles including our 1907 Holsman, 1962 AEC Burwell & District coach and 3 Austin 7s plus visiting vehicles including : 1965 Ford Mustang, 1987 Citroen 2CV, 1950s Citroen Traction.

More vehicles being confirmed daily. The ones listed are just a few of those that have been confirmed so far. There will be around 40-50 cars plus a selection of motorbikes.

If you would like to bring your own classic car or bike (the older or more unusual the better) please contact us to apply for a space. One of the Trustees will then send you a short form to fill in and return. Small vintage tractors and vans are also welcome. We only have a limited amount of space but we will do our best to get as many vehicles in as is practical.

Please do not bring your classic car unless you have had confirmation from us. Those who have returned their forms and have had confirmation will be contacted by Saturday 16th August with instructions for getting on site on Sunday.
