When is the 2023 Kimbolton Country Fayre and Classic Car Show?

Organisers say the event will be the biggest display of classic cars anywhere in eastern England – and will include more cars than ever in its 25-year history.  

The event will take place on Sunday (July 16), between 11am and 5pm, and is set in the parkland surrounding Kimbolton Castle, thanks to permission from Kimbolton School.  

As well as the incredible car display, the MG Owers Club are celebrating a special anniversary and there will be a variety of performances in the main arena.

Eric Joyce, one of the organisers, said: “In the main arena we have a Wild West show of fantastic horsemanship plus other country pursuits including a performing dogs act appropriately called Little Nippers.  

“Later in the afternoon there will be a cavalcade of vintage and classic cars expected to include a 100-year-old Rolls Royce right up to 1950s and 1960s cars like your grandad may have driven.  

“The MG Owners Club will also be celebrating the centenary of that marque with a Q&A session inside the castle.” 

For families, there will be fairground rides and stalls for younger children. 

Food and drink outlets will be open throughout the day. There will also be craft stalls.  

Tickets are £12.50 for adults, £5 for children aged between six and 16, free for under 5s.  

Visitors can pay upon arrival or from TicketSource by searching Kimbolton Country Fayre.
