Well, that's a wrap for 2026!
Many thanks to everyone who joined us to support our charities, Luton Hoo Estate's Walled Garden Project and NSPCC's Childline Service (despite the alternative entertainment available on TV!).

It was an amazing evening. Superb cars, good food, great music & just a lovely atmosphere. Nearly 500 cars were pre-booked, and the variety and quality of the cars was absolutely stunning. The St Albans City band were great as always, and the excellent Heritage display in the Courtyard added a new dimension this year. There have already been many positive comments about the event, and additional feedback and suggestions via email would be welcome.

We are very grateful to our sponsors who supported the event, and to all the volunteers and marshals who worked so hard on the night.

Thanks to your generous donations and/or sponsorship, we raised over £10,000 for Luton Hoo Estate's Walled Garden Project and NSPCC's Childline Service, which will make a huge difference.

If you missed it, we will be back in 2027: date to be announced - please visit our website for updates.
We would welcome anyone interested in joining our small and sociable organising team for next year. Please contact us via email [email protected] for more information.

We very much look forward to seeing you again next year.

HERITAGE AUTOMOTIVE - INSPIRATION AND EDUCATION IN THE CENTRAL COURTYARD

The Heritage Skills Academy, Vintage Sports Car Club and The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness makers are coming together to educate and inspire in an attempt to reach out and get more youngsters involved in the dark art of automotive engineering and coachbuilding.

· The UK historic vehicle sector contributes £7.3 billion, annually to the economy.
· As of 2025 over 1.5 million historic vehicles are registered in the UK, with the total value of the vehicle fleet estimated at over £12.6 billion.

This is a much underestimated area of employment and in turn, we equally need to attract our young people into this sector in order to maintain our classic car and motorsport world.

The Heritage Skills Academy is the UK’s leading apprenticeship programme company in Automotive mechanical engineering and coachbuilding. heritageskillsacademy.co.uk

The Vintage Sport Car Club is a leading light when encouraging youngsters into historic motorsport, making it just as cool as F1, but possibly with a bit more mud! vscc.co.uk

The Worshipful Company of Coach Makers and Coach Harness makers, a City of London Livery company, displaying the historical progress of horses and carriages to the cars we own today. Their charitable purpose is creating bursaries and apprenticeships for young people in both the automotive and aerospace professions. coachmakers.co.uk

Come and learn about your options if you would like to be an automotive engineer or coachbuilder!
