MOTORS BY THE MOAT AT LEEDS CASTLE IS THE PERFECT WEEKEND FOR FAMILIES
AND ANYONE WITH A PASSION FOR CARS.
On the 7th and 8th May, get up close to hundreds
of vintage, high performance and classic cars
from around the world. The cars will be displayed
on the Castle lawns with plenty of other
entertainment for the whole family to enjoy
including a look-a-like Lightening McQueen and
the ‘89 Batmobile. Entry to this event is included
with your admission ticket.
Alysha Sargent, head of engagement and events
at Leeds Castle said: “This year’s show boasts
more activities and a wider range of cars, from
classic cars to military vehicles.
“Sit in a replica 1928 Bugatti complete with leather
gloves and helmet to try on, enjoy an interactive
family show telling how Britain fell for motor racing,
have a go in the Vesaro F1 simulator (once used
by Lewis Hamilton!) and be entertained with live
music from The Redfords.
“There will be hundreds of cars on display from
Ferraris and Porsches to WWII and vintage
vehicles. Don’t forget to try some of the delicious
food on sale…all served from vehicles, of course!”
