WE'RE RUNNING OUR MONTHLY EVENT BETWEEN 09:00 AND 12:00 AT THE RECREATION GROUND - DT10 1BZFREE AND NO NEED TO BOOK
PARKING IN THE TOWN IS ALSO FREE FOR THE DAY
Friendly and informal. Great place to bring your interesting and prized bike or car - there are no age criteria.
We're family friendly if you just want to come and see the event.
Vehicles must be insured and road legal. Owners are responsible for making sure their vehicles are safe and must remain with them if there are exposed parts or other construction features that pose hazards to members of the public.
We usually have a great turnout of well over 200 in good weather, but it will still run even if raining.
The variety has been incredible - from vintage, through classics to modern top-end cars and bikes. Some of the cars have been very rare and valuable. New attendees included a beautiful Lagonda, an Allard (still owned by the Allard family) and a rare 1980s MG Metro Turbo. A stunning collection of Rolls Royces and Porsches came to the February event.
We welcome clubs and groups too, and have had groups of Minis, Fords, a large Triumph Stag group, Custom cars, Arbarths, TVRs, 2CVs and a number of Porsches and MGs.
