2022 followed much the same format as 2021 - but with more cars than ever - nearly 550 cars booked to show, including 33 different Clubs from single marque to regionally based groups, from Mini to Ferrari. Many of whom have been kind enough to support us in previous years, and that is much appreciated.
The day was a static event with no mobile displays, just lots of car owners committed to helping us raise money for our charities by displaying their fine cars, and over £25,000 was raised on the day. With a fine display of steam cars from the early 20thC next to the latest all electric cars there was plenty of variety. We had over fifty stalls, including crafts, produce, and hot food.
Our Motoring Sponsors Krazy Horse, Classic Prestige and Jardines each had a wide range of cars on display on their stands - cars that you could buy. We are also very grateful for the sponsorship of Greene & Greene, Lacy Scott and Knight, Rory J Holbrook Ltd., and Anglia Car Auctions and the support of Premier Printers and KNP Litho, as well as - of course Culford School without whom none of this would have been possible !
In 2021, this was the first major event in the area since the pandemic started and for some Exhibitors the first major car show in nearly two years - we were pleased to have been able to go ahead again in 2022 with the support of Culford School and this year with more toilets and no traffic issues, but just as many visitors!!
Watch here for the 2023 date !!
"Excellent, well done to all the Rotary Club team and all the sponsors and volunteers.
It was another great Culford classic car show, I look forward to attending next year's show again"
"Once again, many congratulations for all the hard work wonderful, you must have a direct line upstairs, loved the glorious weather again, marvellous, faultless day out. A great effort with all the extra vendors offering much more variety, yet at the end of the day, the cars and their owners stories make it and you bring everyone in ""
" It was a great day. Very well organised "
" Brilliant, another great one. I hope you've booked the sun for next year too! "
"An excellent day out thanks to all who organised and displayed your amazing cars"

We are very pleased to say that Classic Prestige will be supporting the event for a third time. Roger Pope says:
"Based in Barrow, just outside Bury St Edmunds, offering an eclectic collection of about 25 cars mostly of the 60's 70’s and 80’s our cars are in great condition cars with relatively low mileage, good history and certainly above the average. These are modern classics and classics icons for the enjoyment of our customers from luxury saloons, to sports and convertibles".
"Our aim is to supply the best reasonably priced classic cars to individuals who share our passion, we intend these cars to be readily usable every day although they are probably suited to weekends, holiday and high days. They will not be concours but certainly show worthy".
"We have our own workshop resources and can also offer classic vehicle storage and rental"
