Some of our oldest and rarest cars will be displayed along the main boulevard, with Italian classics taking their place in the gorgeous Italian Gardens. 

There will children’s entertainment and live vintage music. We will put on a range of hot food options, and the Trentham Gardens cafe will also be open throughout the show. You can also browse the many fantastic shopping stalls, with traders offering a wide range of lovely items.
