• Coventry Festival of Motoring has taken place ‘almost’ every year for over 25 years – though it has had several names throughout that time.

• The Festival has always been held on the first Sunday in September, at Coventry’s War Memorial Park.

• The flagship element of the event is a 60 mile ‘historic vehicle run’ through the Warwickshire countryside.

• Having grown in popularity year after year, the festival now attracts:

• Around 600 participants and their cars, buses and motorbikes on the historic vehicle run

• Over 20,000 visitors who come to the park to enjoy a Sunday of family entertainment and to welcome the participants back to the park on their return

The festival has been so successful that it has outgrown its home at Coventry’s War Memorial Park, therefore from

2012 onwards it will move to a new home at the prestigious Stoneleigh Park.
