Theme for 2017 – ‘The Movies…’
Fancy dress is very much encouraged at this fun, family friendly event, so keep a look out for your favourite characters, perhaps in car form!
As well as showing off some spectacular cars, the show offers lots of other things to see and do, such as a live graffiti marquee where dubs are transformed into works of art before your very eyes.
