CASTLE Howard and classic vehicle events organiser Classic Shows have signed a multi-year agreement to run the Father’s Day Classic Car and Motor Show.

It will ensure the family-friendly event will run for years to come and in doing so will cement the Father’s Day Classic Car & Motor Show at Castle Howard as one of the largest classic vehicle events in the North of England.

The event attracted in excess of 5,000 visitors in 2018 and has since been extended into a second field to accommodate additional demand from vehicle exhibitors and trade stands.

There will be a number of new attractions, including a vintage, classic and modern classic club vehicle section, a dealership zone, including displays of the latest models, and craft tent.

John Hoy, chief executive of Castle Howard, said: “It is great to have entered into a multi-year agreement with Classic Shows. We hope that the Castle Howard Car Show will become a tradition for our visitors on Father’s Day and for them to come back year on year for a fantastic family day out.”

Matthew J Harvey, director of Classic Shows, said: “We are delighted to have entered into a multi-year agreement to run our popular Father’s Day Classic Car and Motor Show at the stunning Castle Howard.

“We have a fantastic relationship with John having worked together for many years to deliver similar events at Blenheim Palace and Knebworth Park and are excited to once again be working with John and his team at Castle Howard.

“Last year’s event saw a phenomenal response and with even more content planned for 2019’s event.”
