Bridge Classic Cars at the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall

We had the privilege of being the headline sponsors of the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall this past weekend, and it was a huge success. As the main sponsors, we wanted to make a big impression, and we’re thrilled to say we think we did just that!

A Stand to Remember

Our stand proved to be very popular with visitors to the show. Thanks to the incredible canvas setup from Events Under Canvas, we had a comfortable and inviting space. The seating area was perfect for people to relax, chat, and enjoy the cars. It wasnโ€™t just about the vehicles for us; it was about creating a great atmosphere where everyone could share their love for classic cars.


Interesting & Unique Vehicles

The real stars of our stand were the rare and interesting classic cars and bikes we had on display. Each one had its own story such as our 1905 Riley 9HP, 1939 Jaguar SS100, 2022 C-Type Replica, or our beautiful 1959 Ford Zephyr.

All of the cars on our stand generated a lot of interest and got lots of attention. The whole team were very excited to talk to people about each one and tell their stories.


The Live Draw

One of the highlights of the day was our live draw to find the winner of our stunning 1958 Austin Healey 100/6. As it ended up being a local winner, we were hopeful he might be in attendance at the show but, unfortunately, it wasn’t to be and we had to settle with speaking to him on the phone.


A Day of Fun and Team Spirit

The whole day was great fun for both the visitors and our team. We enjoyed every moment, from setting up the stand to chatting with fellow enthusiasts.

Very simply…itโ€™s days like these that remind us why we love what we do.

Looking Forward to Next Year

As we packed up at the end of the day, we were already excited about next yearโ€™s event. Weโ€™re eager to build on this yearโ€™s success and bring even more excitement to the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall. Weโ€™re brainstorming ideas to make our stand even bigger and better and can’t wait to share our plans.

Why We Love Being Part of the Classic Car Community

Being part of the classic car community is more than just a business for us; itโ€™s a passion and a privilege. Events like these allow us to connect with fellow enthusiasts, share our love for these beautiful machines, and contribute to the preservation of automotive history. Weโ€™re proud to support and sponsor events that bring people together and celebrate the artistry and craftsmanship of classic cars and the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars certainly does that.

Helmingham Hall

For those whoโ€™ve never been, the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall is an amazing event. The stunning backdrop of Helmingham Hall adds to the huge range of cars on display. With its beautiful gardens and historic architecture, itโ€™s the perfect setting for a day dedicated to appreciating the beauty and history of classic vehicles.

Thank You

We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who visited our stand, participated in the live draw, and shared their stories and passion with us. A big shoutout to Events Under Canvas for providing such a fantastic setup. And, of course, congratulations to the lucky winner of the 1958 Austin Healey 100/6, Jeremey, we hope you enjoy many miles with it.

See You Next Time

If you missed out this year, donโ€™t worryโ€”thereโ€™s always next year! Weโ€™re already counting down the days and planning how to make our presence at the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall even more memorable.

In the meantime, keep an eye on our website and social media for updates on upcoming events.

Thank you for making the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall such a wonderful experience for us at Bridge Classic Cars. Hereโ€™s to many more successful events.

See you next year!
