Burnley’s Vintage & Performance Car Show returns on Saturday 12 September, bringing a prestigious collection of vintage, classic and high-performance cars and motorcycles to the town for a day of motoring, entertainment and free family activities.
Taking place from 11am to 4pm, St James’s Street and Curzon Street will be transformed into a display of vehicles from across the decades, giving visitors the chance to get up close to everything from beautifully restored classics to powerful performance cars and motorcycles.
There will be plenty to enjoy away from the vehicles too, with free entertainment taking place throughout the day. Families can meet the Cheshire Transformers, including Optimus Prime, alongside walkabout favourites Bumblebee and White Knight. Free face painting will be available at the main event hub on St James’s Street, while visitors can also enjoy a round of crazy golf on Curzon Street.
Hosted by Radio Burnley’s Lee and Phil, the event will offer a fantastic atmosphere throughout the day, while giving visitors the perfect opportunity to explore Burnley’s shops, cafés and restaurants.
Organised by Burnley Business Improvement District (BID), the annual event continues to attract vehicle enthusiasts and families from across Lancashire.
Vehicle registration remains open, with owners of vintage, classic and performance vehicles, including motorcycles, invited to take part in this year’s event. Anyone interested in exhibiting is encouraged to register as soon as possible ahead of the show at https://discoverburnley.co.uk/carshow/
