Biggest one-day car show in the North returns to Newby Hall this weekend
The Historic Vehicle Rally – the North’s biggest one-day car show – is marking its 50th anniversary when it returns to Newby Hall this weekend.
The event attracts exhibits from all over the country with more than 1,000 vehicles of all marques expected to be on display this year.
The rally is organised by the North of England Classic and Pre-War Automobiles (NECPWA) which is expecting 700 exhibitors on Sunday (16th July).
To mark the event’s 50th anniversary, each exhibitor will receive a commemorative umbrella.
A special award will be made to the exhibitor epitomising a ‘classic country house picnic’ display with their vehicle.
The rally appeals to serious enthusiasts with auto-jumble stalls to rummage through. More casual visitors can choose a favourite classic, pose for a selfie and imagine themselves at the wheel.
Stuart Gill, commercial director at Newby Hall, said:
Newby Hall & Gardens“The Historic Vehicle Rally has become a firm fixture in the events calendar at Newby Hall and is all the more special this year because of its 50th anniversary.
"We look forward to celebrating with the organisers and exhibitors and hope for a great crowd to mark the occasion.”
Newby Hall is one of the UK’s finest Adam houses and is internationally celebrated as one of the largest and most complete surviving Chippendale interiors.
Its 25 acres of award-winning gardens include one of Europe’s largest double herbaceous borders, an enchanted woodland walk, a miniature railway and a children’s adventure playground as well as permanent dolls house and teddy bear exhibitions.
