Abbey Hill Steam Rally

Friday 1st - Monday 4th May 2026

Get ready to relive history and experience the power of vintage machinery at the Abbey Hill Steam Rally. Held at the picturesque Yeovil Showground, surrounded by the rolling hills of Dorset, this annual event takes place over the May Day bank holiday weekend, from Friday 01 to Monday 04 May. It offers a unique opportunity to admire a long line of beautifully restored steam engines and explore rows of vintage tractors and vehicles dating back to the early 20th century. The sound of the steam whistles and the sight of these majestic machines in motion will transport you back in time.

In addition to the main attraction, visitors can also enjoy a variety of other activities such as live music, delicious food stalls and a fun-filled fairground. With over 100 trade stands selling a variety of goods from household items and plants to toys and jewellery, there's something for everyone. The entertainment programme includes ring events, live bands and singers in the Beer Tent, and in the evening the fun continues with more entertainment in the marquee and the fairground stays open late.

The gates open at 8:00 am and with ample parking and facilities, it's a perfect family day out. Don't miss your chance to witness history in motion and make memories that will last a lifetime.

CLASSICS AT PRESCOTT' HILL CLIMB EVENT 9^th & 10^th MAY 2025

Winchcombe Rotary Club invites classic car owners to our iconic event at the Bugatti Club which is open to all vehicles over 25 years old.

Sunday 10^th will be devoted to driving the famous hill, with passengers if you wish, in marshalled but un-timed runs which eliminate the need for crash helmets and the full gamut of safety equipment etc. However, vehicles must be road legal i.e., taxed and insured. A Paddock entry of £75 per vehicle covers 2 runs up the hill, all passengers and a souvenir programme. Entries are limited to 200 cars.

Spectators are very welcome – entry remains at £20 per car to include all passengers.

Our static display in a designated area for classic, vintage and special vehicles will also be evident. We feel this significantly enhances the presentation of the superb range of vehicles expected. A Static entry of £25 per car, covers all passengers and a souvenir programme. Block bookings by Clubs will be particularly welcome and we'll endeavour to park such groups together.

Another Cotswold Tour on Saturday 9^th starts near Prescott and covers approximately 70 miles of the country's finest scenery. It will visit a suitable venue en route to take in refreshment and enable you to meet fellow tourers. Entry of £30 covers the tour and a souvenir Tour brochure.

Locks Heath Classic Car Club 

The FCC (Four Counties Classic) will continue to meet on the first and third Saturdays of every month in 2025:

The FCC (Four Counties Classic) is a free gathering for all pre-1990 classic cars.

The gatherings take place from 9am to noon on the first and third Saturdays of every month throughout the year at The Bletchingley Arms, 2 High St, Bletchingley, Surrey RH1 4PE

For those who need sustenance, The Bletchingley Arms serves breakfast between 9.30am and 10.30am.

The event is a static gathering in the midst of some wonderful driving roads though the scenic North Downs. When the weather was kind, prior to the lock-downs we often had as many as 130 cars in attendance. One reason for the success of the gathering is its geographical location close to the borders between four counties. We have regular members who come from Surrey, Greater London, Kent and Sussex. There are probably more classic cars in these four counties than anywhere else in the country (and therefore the world).

Name of event – Land Rover Monthly Live

What – Now in its fourth year, the team at Land Rover Monthly can't wait to bring back the Big Weekender event for 2026 – LRM Live (16 -17 May). A completely unique two-day event that utilises the team's vast Land Rover and shows knowledge to bring you a Land Rover event that is unmissable! Camp for the weekend or visit for the day/s and enjoy, trade stands, club and vehicle displays, a live events arena, beer tent, entertainment for the whole family, a selection of autojumble and a whole lot more!

Where – Malvern, Three Counties Showground, Worcestershire WR13 6NW

Times – Saturday 9.00am - 5.00pm; Sunday 9.00am - 4.00pm

Contact info for public – For more information visit: www.landrovermonthly.co.uk/information/lrmlive. For any visitor booking queries please contact shows@lrm.co.uk or call 007350 360 381. For any trade booking queries please contact alice@warnersgroup.co.uk (07799 695718).

The Spring Autojumble will return on 16-17 May 2026. It's your one-stop-shop for all classic motoring needs is perfect for those seeking an elusive part for their historic vehicle project, or simply wanting a terrific motoring-themed day out.

The Spring Autojumble offers plenty for enthusiasts, as well as families looking for a packed motoring-themed day out in the New Forest. Contents of hundreds of garages, sheds, lock-ups and lofts go on sale for the weekend, as automotive treasure-hunters scour the stands in search of bargains and historic motoring curios.

The Automart is the place to find all manner of motors on sale whilst Land Rover Rummage on the Sunday of the show is an unmissable opportunity for fans of the iconic 4X4, with a corner of the Spring Autojumble fields dedicated solely to Land Rover spare parts, accessories and even complete project vehicles for sale.
