The Festival of Classic & Sports Cars

Held in association with the Suffolk Vehicle Enthusiasts Club (SVEC), the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars features vehicles from a wide range of eras. More than 1000 vehicles attended the 2022 festival so you can be sure you will be able to find something for everyone.

The show takes place against the backdrop of Helmingham Hall and its surrounding moat making for a stunning location for some truly beautiful cars.

In addition to the eye-catching vehicles on display, there are plenty of activities for all the family including childrenโ€™s activities, fairground stalls, over 40 craft and trade stalls, main ring entertainment, birds of prey and much more!

A variety of food and drink will be available and there will be multiple forms of entertainment including country music artists Jax & Co, who will be playing among other performers, plus Chocks Away will be dancing throughout the day showing off their skills in Jive, Swing and Lindy Hop.

There is also the opportunity to transport yourself back to the era your car was made by dressing in the fashion of the time. Competitions for best dressed will be going on throughout the festival so you can be rewarded for making the effort.
