Mid Suffolk Showground, at Stonham Barns Park, set for two-day Vauxfest 2024 today and tomorrow
Vehicles of all ages bearing Vauxhall, Opel and Bedford badges will be descending on Mid Suffolk Showground this weekend.
Stonham Barns Park is hosting Vauxfest for the first time today and tomorrow, as the show is moving to the site from Northampton.
Organisers Richard Watt and John Ankerman are looking forward to their first Suffolk show.
Richard said: “Vauxfest 24 will be a big show with lots of excitement around the Vauxhall, Bedford and Opel marques, covering the full range of models past and present.
“As Vauxhall and Opel are one of the oldest established vehicle manufactures and distribution companies, its cars and vehicles are much collected and sought after. We have families who come to our shows year on year and we are hoping to add to this happy and dedicated community of Vauxhall, Bedford and Opel followers with more owners from the East of England.’
Vauxhall branded vehicles are still produced in the UK as well as in Opel factories in Germany, Spain and Poland.
Lifelong Vauxhall enthusiasts father and son David J Walker, of Hitcham, and David F Walker, of Cockfield, have followed the brand since David senior worked for a Vauxhall dealership in Stowmarket.
The family, who now own 23 Vauxhall cars, are looking forward to participating in the show.
Day tickets cost £10 for adults, under 12s free. For more information, go to https://www.vauxfest.co.uk/
There will also be a trader’s area and autojumble over the weekend.
