| Festival of Classic and Sports Cars |
Sunday 4th August 2013: 10:00am - 5:00pm
Held in association with the Suffolk Vehicle Enthusiasts Club (SVEC). 4,000 people attended the 2012 festival. The event attracts classic and sports car owners who exhibit their cars some of which parade up and down the main drive on the two concourse runs throughout the day. |
Over 700 vehicles attend, representing the last 10 decades of motoring history, including many from Britain’s motoring heyday – marques on display included Alvis, Bristol, Jensen, AC Riley, Armstong Sideley, Lea Francis, Crossley, BSA, Lagonda, Lanchester and Gordon Keeble. The oldest vehicle seen on display was a 1914 Ford Model T and the latest sports car models have included the Chevrolet Corvette and a Ford Mustang as well as Ferraris’ and Porsche.
This amazing collection of vehicles is displayed against the magnificent back drop of Helmingham Hall and its surrounding moat which sits in the middle of the ancient deer park.
As well as this impressive display of vehicles there will be main ring entertainment, craft and trade stalls, birds of prey, live music and great local food & drink!
The 2012 event made a £3,750 donation to EACH - Ipswich Children’s Hospice www.each.org.uk
Car exhibitors have given very generous over the past 8 years and we hope that with the 2013 Festival we will be able to make an even greater donation. It is possible to make a donation with your classic car entry or as a visitor on the day at the EACH stand.
Lord Tollemache would like to thank everyone who made a donation in 2011 and 2012 to The Ipswich Children’s Hospice which goes to help with the every day running costs of the Hospice as well as days out for the children and their families.
