The Hebden Bridge Vintage Weekend has been a popular rally for all motor enthusiasts and, in particular, owners of veteran, vintage and classic vehicles, for the last 29 years. It has developed a reputation as an ever more interesting and enjoyable event and is now run by the Rotary Club of Hebden Bridge.
As an added bonus, on Sunday morning, visitors to Hebden Bridge can watch the Historic Commercial Vehicle Society’s famous ‘Trans Pennine Run’ pass through the town. Hebden Bridge is an ideal location to watch this magnificent collection of historic vehicles as they wind their way across the Pennines, en route from Manchester to Harrogate.
Once again, on Sunday, there will be a ‘Scenic Run’ giving all participants a chance to meet beforehand and take part in this popular event, arriving at the rally field around midday. We hope to distribute a memento of the event and a welcome pack to all entrants.
Judging will be on a ‘self judging’ basis with all entrants being given the chance to vote for all classes. There will be prizes for each class.
Held in the heart of Hebden Bridge, on Calder Holmes Park, the event attracts hundreds of vehicles, of a wide variety and age.
The town centre, with its wealth of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs is only a few minutes walk from the park. Hebden Bridge is worth a visit, if just to see what the British Airways In-Flight magazine described as ‘One of the most funky towns in the world’.
This is an event with something to please the whole family, it is far from being merely a show for collectors. Throughout the weekend there will be a wide variety of stalls, catering and entertainment on the park including live music. Additional toilets will be provided by the organisers and there will be First Aiders in attendance, on both days. The park also has a children’s play area.
