On Sunday 1 September 2024, Capel Manor Gardens hosted its annual Classic and Vintage Car Show, a day brimming with automotive nostalgia and timeless charm. This year’s event drew over 600 stunning classic and vintage cars, showcased by passionate enthusiasts and clubs from across the UK, celebrating the rich heritage of motoring. TV presenter, Jeff Brazier was also a surprise exhibitor at this year’s event.
With close to 3,000 attendees, car lovers and visitors enjoyed a full day of entertainment and activities. The atmosphere was enriched by the sounds of the 1960s, with our live band providing an engaging musical backdrop and the Enfield Brass Band delivering a fantastic musical performance that had everyone tapping their feet. The day was blessed with glorious weather, making it the perfect setting to indulge in traditional cream tea and cake on the lawn of our 17th Century Georgian Manor House.
“Of all the classic car events I attend in the southeast, Capel Manor is the best—well-organised, a beautiful setting and a diverse range of interesting cars.” – Charles S
The event concluded with a prize-giving ceremony, where Capel Manor College Principal, Peter Brammall, presented awards to the proud car owners.
Looking ahead, join us on Sunday 20 April 2025 for our Easter Egg-Stravaganza, featuring a showcase of classic Morris Minors, as a teaser for the next Classic and Vintage Car Show on Sunday 31 August 2025.
We extend our sincere thanks to our exhibitors, car clubs, and visitors for making this year’s show such a great success. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable event!
