This year we celebrate fifty years of the South West’s premier historic and classic vehicle event, which plays host to 1500-2000 exhibits over two days.
First held in 1975, the award winning Historic Vehicle Gathering is organised entirely by unpaid volunteers of the Crash Box & Classic Car Club, and one of the biggest events of its type in the country. Do you know of a bigger one that’s run by a club and volunteer run?
The event brings together vehicles from more than a century of motoring with cars, motorcycles, commercial vehicles (including buses), military, tractors and a mighty steam powered vehicles. In addition there are around one hundred trade stands including many autojumble stands.
It is also a big family day with live music, a dog show, miniature train ride and other children’s entertainment. This year we will also be celebrating eighty years since VE Day (Victory in Europe). Children aged under 16 have free entry (with a fee paying adult).
Charities also benefit with the event having raised around £300,000 over the years for mostly local causes receiving donations.
We hope you’ll want to be part of this amazing show and join us to celebrate our 50th anniversary!
