    Helmingham Hall Festival of Classic and Sports Cars 2017 - 06/08/2017

    Festival of Classic and Sports Cars
    Sunday 6th August 2017: 10:00am - 5:00pm

    The Helmingham Festival of Classic and Sports Cars is a wonderful day out for car enthusiasts and the whole family. Every year there is an amazing range of exhibiting vehicles displayed in front of the magnificent, moated Helmingham Hall, surrounded by the ancient deer park and the Grade 1 Listed Gardens.

    The 2016 event had an attendance of over 900 exhibiting cars and over 7,000 people enjoyed displays in the main ring, trade & craft stalls, live music, the Grade I Listed Gardens & great local food & drink stalls. We plan to extend the entertainment offered in 2017.

    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.

    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!

    Car exhibitors have given very generous over the past 12 years and we hope that with the 2017 Festival we will be able to make an even greater donation.

    Lord Tollemache would like to thank everyone who made a donation in previous years by attending the show. Based on the success of the event in 2016, a donation of £6,000 was made to EACH (East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice). With your help, we would like to repeat this in 2017 and support this very worthy cause once again.

    Clutch is dead so Im now not sure if it will be fixed in time. Hopefully actual issue will be diagnosed this week but then it depends on what parts i need and if they can be fitted in time.
