Some of our oldest 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, as well as a DJ playing 50s, 60s and 70s hits throughout the day. We will put on a range of hot food options, and the Trentham Gardens cafe will also be open throughout the show.
