Motoring enthusiasts and families alike are in for a treat as the Stirling and District Classic Car Club gears up for its much-anticipated annual Classic Car Show, set to take place on Sunday May 11 at the Games Park in Bridge of Allan.

This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever, with over 800 classic vehicles expected to gleam proudly on display. Alongside the stunning cars, visitors can enjoy a packed programme of live music, featuring performances from Callander Brass and the Moodiesburn and District Pipe Band. A lively selection of traders and autojumblers will be on hand, and younger guests will be kept entertained with a variety of children's rides. A tempting array of food vendors will also be serving up tasty treats throughout the day.

More than just a celebration of classic motoring, the show has a powerful charitable purpose. Since its inception, the event has raised over £130,000 for more than 60 local good causes. This year, three of last year’s beneficiary charities will be attending to showcase the invaluable work they do within the community.

Chair of the Stirling and District Classic Car Club, George Waddell, said: "We’re incredibly proud of how the show has grown over the years, not just in size but in the real difference it has made to local charities. It’s a fantastic day out for all ages, and every penny raised helps us support the amazing work being done right here in our communities."

Classic vehicles from the Falkirk area will include this gorgeous Alvis TA21 DHC which has been lovingly and expertly restored by long-standing Club member Max Lourie.

Whether you're a lifelong petrolhead or simply looking for a great day out with the family, the Bridge of Allan Games Park is the place to be this May.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of a brilliant event – and help drive support for local charities at the same time! Public entry will be open from 10.30am to 4pm and tickets are priced at £5 each for adults. (Under 16s are free as is the public car park.) For further details: www.sdccc.co.uk
