Chester House Estate in Northamptonshire hosts its first ever Classic Car Day

With tickets priced just £5 (under 16s are free), you can pop along for a day of vintage heritage and take a peek at and inside an array of classics - everything from Rolls Royce and Morris Minors to Ferraris and Austins.

Set in 85 acres of historic landscape, dozens of the greatest classic cars ever designed and made will be on display, with knowledgeable and passionate owners on hand to answer any questions you may have.

This event, which will take place on Saturday May 20, 2023, has been organised by Wellingborough Hatton Rotary Club in partnership with Chester House Estate.

As well as viewing the classic cars, visitors will be able to meander and enjoy the grounds, shop at the estate’s resident artisan businesses and make the most of the food and drink offering at the Chester House Estate café.

Here are just a few of the many automobile highlights that will be on display:
