We have a busy few weeks of events coming up in our Region. Please check individual venue websites for further information.
Sunday 4th June - There are two opportunities for a Cars & Coffee Meet-up
Charity Farm, Wrightington. From 8.30
With all the dry weather we should be on the large grassed area, which will accommodate over 100 cars, with the overflow onto the ample hard standing. Good variety of sports and classic cars always present. Porsche is the largest marque. Excellent breakfasts available in the café.
Supercar Sunday – Mitton Hall Hotel, Near Whalley
These events used to be regular until they got too large. You will need to be there by 8.00 for a chance to get on the car park. Parking space is dependent on what event was running on the Saturday evening (e.g. a wedding) and how many people stayed over. They will of course want to leave after breakfast. Parking space can be tight. There may be the opportunity to park down the road at a pub. (Aspinall Arms I think.) Bacon barms available. Police can be active in the area, as a few attendees are known to show off.
