2024 Festival of Transport – Sunday 28th July

On the Day

Exhibitors should arrive at Hankelow Green from 9:00am onwards with their registration card. All entrants to be present by 10:30am latest. Refreshments will be available for purchase on the Green and at the newly re-opened White Lion pub.

The procession of vehicles will commence from the green at Hankelow just outside Audlem, at 11:00am and then proceed to Audlem along the designated route through the village to the display site, which once again will be the village playing field off Cheshire Street. Here the entrants will be parked for viewing by the public for the remainder of the day. The display will finish at 4:00pm.

(All times subject to change at the organisers' discretion)

This year we celebrate our 25th anniversary, it's hard to believe and every year this event attracts between 3,000 and 4,000 spectators.

This year's spectacular parade contains over 250 cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles.
Thank you to all owners/drivers for joining us and congratulations on a splendid display!
In conjunction with this event the annual gathering of Historic Boats is taking place, so don't miss the chance to mosey on down to the canal for an amazing display. This year we have also included information on the Historic Boats in this programme.
