ABOUT THE SHOW
Before I start, I would like to say a BIG BIG THANK YOU to all the people that helped with last year's show. I am sure you all know who you are!
There are some links at the bottom of this page for articles written about the 2007 event together with some great photographs. It is a shame nobody managed to get any pics of the party and the live group on the Saturday night. I guess we were all having too much fun, or maybe too drained after the rodeo bull knockout! (I almost won that!)
So, back to 'About the show'
Bringing your car or bike? Just turn up on the day with it! Or just coming for a nice day out surrounded by Italian Exotica?

Why hold this show?
I have been organising large outdoor events since 1988 and have worked on various shows and exhibitions. As an Italian car & bike owner/enthusiast myself, I have attended most of the UK's Italian car and bike events which I have always thoroughly enjoyed. At one of the major events last year, chatting to the other enthusiasts that had attended, I came up with the idea for this show. I didn't want just the usual gathering of Italian exotica but a more leisurely social 'festival' atmosphere.
So here we go!
Why not bring your Italian car or bike down to the show. Of course we will have the usual trade stands, memorabilia, parts, dealers, magazines etc etc, but we will also have some entertainment for you, your partners and children. Of course, the show will be open to the public from 9am until 6pm and then the gates will be closed, with our full security team only allowing access either way to the car/bike owners. At this point we would encourage you to hitch up your tent and enjoy the evenings fun, with a live blues band and drinks from 7pm. Fantastic catering, prize Rodeo Bull, followed by conversation into the wee small hours with other car and bike enthusiasts.
We will open again to the public on the Sunday from 9am until 3pm with the venue closing down at 6pm giving you ample time.
There will be full security on site at all times, a camping area just a short walk from your car, with showers and toilet facilities, drinking water, bins etc etc. We have arranged much on-site entertainment (lots for the kids too) together with some off-site runs throughout the Weekend.
We look forward to meeting you.
