The date for a new classic and vintage car show has been announced, with roaring engines and the gleam of polished paintwork centre stage among a selection of attractions for everyone.
Grantham Car Show will take place at Wyndham Park in Grantham, on Saturday 16th May.
The family day out – packed with vehicles, displays and an unforgettable dance show – will run from 10.30am to 4pm and is completely free.
Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, Cllr Paul Stokes, who is also Deputy Leader of the Council, said: “We are gearing up to inspire a new generation of classic car lovers with the chance to talk to owners and drivers of vehicles covering more than 100 years of motoring history.
“South Kesteven District Council has worked hard to organise and fund its first Car Show in an award-winning park setting that will host displays and events to remember. We are so pleased to have been able to respond to the overwhelming demand, in collaboration with Grantham Car Club. Residents asked for this and we have delivered.”
The show is free entry, and all entertainment is free to enjoy without needing to book.
The Council is working with event partners, Grantham Classic Car Club, which will be displaying vintage and classic cars. Other car owners who would like to display their vehicle should contact John Welham at Grantham Car Club, ajwelham@btinternet.com or 0778 868345.
The RIDE Dance Show is in town for the day – a summer road trip theme featuring three men and a 1980s Ford Orion that appears to have a life of its own. Their performance is dance theatre as you’ve never seen it before, featuring stunts and a real car which rotates and spins to provide their performance playground.
Younger visitors can impress the Rhubarb Theatre driving instructor in a fun filled children’s activity by taking on a wacky driving test around a test track full of hazards… will they pass?
SKDC will also taking the Rhubarb Theatre Driving School on tour, visiting car shows throughout the summer to provide additional free family entertainment, events and dates still TBC.
Grantham Car Show in May adds to the busy South Kesteven car show calendar, which takes in annual events such as Baston Car Show, Bourne Picnic in the Park, and Stamford Car Show – plus classic/vintage vehicle displays at village shows and regular local car club meets throughout the summer.
