Park & Admire

The classic car industry is worth an estimated £18.3 billion to the UK each year according to the Historic Vehicles and Classic Vehicles Alliance. So it’s no wonder that events showcasing transport of previous eras are among the most popular days out in the calendar of many Lions Clubs in the British Isles.

Windermere & Ambleside Lions use Eventrac - an online sports event management tool for The Lakes Charity Classic Vehicle Show located at Staveley Recreation Ground, Cumbria. This year it attracted 2,000 visitors, with adults paying £7 and children having free entry. Owners of vehicles on display donated £7, to include entry for two people. Overnight camping was available for those in campervans or motorhomes for £20. All proceeds were donated to worthwhile local causes, including the club’s nominated charity, The Birchall Trust.

Amazing Value
