Posted On : 28/04/2025

One of the most popular events in the local calendar will return this spring, as Carew Castle prepares to host its annual Classic Car Show on Bank Holiday Monday 5 May.

Set against the historic backdrop of the Castle and Millpond, the show brings together an impressive selection of classic and vintage cars, motorbikes, and military vehicles from across South Wales. The event has become a firm favourite among vehicle enthusiasts and casual visitors, offering a unique opportunity to view beautifully maintained vehicles in a striking heritage setting.

In addition to the vehicle displays, the event will include live music and a range of family-friendly activities, making it a well-rounded day out. Hot drinks and bacon rolls will be available in the morning, followed by a full menu of homemade lunches and cakes at Nest Tearoom. The Castle and nearby Tidal Mill will also be open as usual, offering visitors the chance to explore over 2,000 years of history through exhibitions, displays, and the site’s distinctive architecture.

Daisy Hughes, Manager of Carew Castle, said:

“The Classic Car Show has become one of our most anticipated events of the year. It’s a fantastic opportunity for vehicle owners to showcase their pride and joy, and for visitors to experience a wonderful mix of history, heritage, and automotive design – all in the unique setting of Carew Castle.”

The Car Show will run from 10am to 3pm, with the Castle open until 4.30pm. Normal admission fees apply, with tickets priced at: Adults £8, Concessions £7, Children £6, and Family Tickets £25. Entry to the Car Show is included in the admission fee. No advance booking is required.

The event is weather dependent and may be cancelled in the event of poor conditions. For the latest updates, visit www.carewcastle.com or follow Carew Castle and Tidal Mill on Facebook.
