Bonnets are lifted, doors are opened, and guests are encouraged to hop in and admire the intricate interiors. Add some live music, food trucks, a licensed bar and a cruise around the block with an experienced driver, for a lively fun and evening.

Friday 11th September| 5PM – 9PM

150+ classic cars with bonnets up and doors open
Live immersive performance with Elisha Hobbs
