Festival of the Dead Car Show 2023

A celebration of car marques no longer with us.
The show will be bringing together an amazing selection of vintage and classic cars, retro and everyday drivers, and custom and exotic cars to celebrate the marques that are no longer in manufacture. Plus, with a variety of auto traders, catering options, awards, live demos, and discounted entry to the House and Gardens, it is set to be a great day out for everyone.

Presented by car care advisors, MoreThanPolish.com, and ClassicLine Insurance, Festival of the Dead is a gathering of timeless classic vehicles celebrating marques that are no longer with us. Whether you have a well known or rare classic British made car, an American or overseas marque, or a custom or special, if the maker of your car has ceased production, this is THE show for you.

Practical Classics Workshop
The Practical Classics team will be hosting an interactive area at the show! They’ll be bringing projects from their nearby workshop – dead marques of course! – providing demonstrations and answering your restoration questions.

Discounted entry to the House and Gardens
All Festival of the Dead participants will be able to enjoy half-priced entry to the House and Gardens. Present your show entry ticket at the Venue reception to redeem this offer.

A tasty selection of local food and drinks
The House also has a great restaurant for sit-down meals or take a stroll along to the Café where you’ll find a tasty selection of refreshments and light lunches. There’ll also be a refreshments stall on the main show field, and if it is a hot day (which of course we hope it will be!), the delicious ice cream parlour will be open too.

Supporting Mission Motorsport
All profits from this fantastic day will be donated to Mission Motorsport.
