A really big event , all sorts from vintage to modern super cars. Trade stands, small auto jumble, etc Just off the M5 J9 at Tewkesbury High School. Monday 26th August is the Pershore Plum Festival Classic Car Show. Around 500 cars on show last year, something for everyone. Part of the town is closed off with street markets, music, food festival etc. Car show is held in the abbey grounds |
Tewkesbury was a great day out. Full to over flowing in the main field with plenty of interesting vehicles and half decent auto jumble. Wish I'd taken my camera ! Henry Cole and his best mate Sam Lovegrove were there filming for an instalment of Shed & Buried. Really nice guys and happy to chat.
Pershore Plum Festival Classic Car meet on the bank holiday Monday is a similar event and well worth a look if you're in the area. |

The first event is on the morning of 29th September. It is free to attend but the organisers would like you to pre book so they can accommodate everyone. 5 - 6th October is the Prescott Autumn Classic which is now a very well established event. Lots of track action, wall of death, live music, food and drink etc. Big American influence , period ( 50's- 60's ) dress code if that's your thing ! |

In the pic you can see my Fury, 2nd from left and just right of centre: Stuart's 250SWB Kali- he came for the day and it's for sale... A very small and friendly event which is only going to grow with each passing year due to the enthusiasm of its participants which now include me. |

Sunday 13th October is Prescott Breakfast Club. And Shelsley Breakfast Club. Seems a bit daft to me having them on the same day, but weather permitting I'll go to Prescott as it's both nearer and free. Regards, Mick |
I might try the Castle Combe event this year, weather permitting !
|
2019 events to go to.
Next Sunday, 13th is the last Prescott Breakfast Meeting of the year. Hope the weather is kind, this time last year it was still warm and sunny !
Also next Sunday is the Malvern Classic Car Show at the Three Counties show ground. Usually well attended and a reasonable auto jumble. Best showground in the country IMO, would like to camp there some time. |

I have to travel a bit further- 68 miles but that includes the A417 racetrack out of Gloucester and then the glorious B4208 almost the rest of the way. Once had a holiday in a cottage at Wych Crossing- superb views.

Also a breakfast club gathering at Bromyard this Sunday morning 27th Oct. Held at Holden Vintage and Classic shop which is also next door to Leggs café. |
