Hinckley Car Show 2024 (15/09/2024)
2024-09-15 08:00 - 17:00
The Club is planning once again on attending the Hinckley Classic Motorshow on Sunday 15th September 2024.
For those of you that haven’t taken part before, this is a very informal show laid out in the streets of Hinckley town centre and is attended by many different types of classic vehicles. There’s invariably other stuff taking place at the same time to keep children and adults alike entertained, as well as the majority of the shops being open too. So, all in all, a good day out, particularly as it’s free!
The show focuses on classic vehicles or vehicles of special interest and at last year’s show, we had 8 Beetles and campers in our line up. It would be great to repeat the same or better this year, the cruise alone into town makes for quite a spectacle, as does parking up in the town centre!
If you would like to take part, please email our Membership Secretary (lwvwoc.membership@gmail.com) for further details.

Whether it’s NOS/genuine used parts you’re after, or quality new items, we wanty ou to come away with everything you need for your beloved vehicle.

We had tremendous support at the last event and many of those traders from our first Swap Meet have already signed up again. We also have many more wishing trade too and if you’ve got a load of quality air-cooled parts you’re looking to sell, please get in touch and ask about a pitch. Just be quick as they’re allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

The British Motor Museum is located in the heart of the Midlands, just a few minutes off junction 12 of the M40, so it’s within easy reach for all. The superb new venue is larger than the previous one and has its own dedicated entrance and extensive parking for your air-cooled vehicles.

Why not make a full day of it by coming along to the swap meet and then having a look around the amazing collection of classic British made metal? (Separate charges apply).

We recommend buying your swap meet general admission tickets well in advance to avoid disappointment. Visit our website midlandsaircooledswapmeet.com to buy your tickets.

Calke Abbey Picnic/Walk 11th May 2025
2025-05-11 11:00 - 17:00 | Calke Abbey
With peeling paintwork and overgrown courtyards, Calke Abbey tells the story of the dramatic decline of a country house estate. The house and stables are little restored, with many abandoned areas vividly portraying a period in the 20th century when numerous country houses did not survive to tell their story.
Visit the beautiful, yet faded walled gardens and explore the orangery, auricula theatre and the kitchen gardens. Escape into the ancient and fragile habitats of Calke Park and its National Nature Reserve.
