Record crowds expected at this year's Cars at the Spa show in Leamington
Leamington Rotary Club is expecting record crowds for its annual summer motoring show Cars at the Spa in what is the club’s centenary year.
Around 300 classic cars from across the Midlands are expected to be on display at the event at the Pump Room Gardens on Sunday June 21 for what is a major fundraising event for the charities the club supports.
Each year thousands of visitors arrive at the free event to see the cars and to enjoy live entertainment on the bandstand throughout the day, with plenty of food and drink stalls and a dedicated picnic area.
Rotarian Simon Evans, who chairs the show’s organising committee, said: “Cars at the Spa has become a regular event in the town raising thousands of pounds each year.
"People’s generosity can be amazing at times and we hope this year’s event will be even bigger and better, especially as our Rotary club is celebrating its 100th anniversary.”
Kia Warwick and Motor Hub Warwick are the headline sponsors for the event, which BID Leamington has helped to finance.
Former Leamington Rotary Club president Linda John said: “We had a big increase in visitors last year as people came from far and wide to enjoy one of the town’s loveliest parks, listen to the entertainment, picnic on the grass by the river, buy snacks and drinks and, of course, admire the stars of the show - hundreds of classic cars.
"This year we are hoping to display even more cars and are again looking to raise a substantial amount of money for charity.”
