A host of other activites will take place throughout the day. There’ll be autojumble stalls selling a wide range of spare parts, a funfair for the kids, numerous craft stalls and a host of entertainment including a falconry display and face painting. Teams can also compete to see who is the strongest in the first ever Car Pull competition. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Park Manager Michael Wynne said: “I am delighted that The Big Welsh Car Show is returning to the park after a successful first year. The day will have fun events for the whole family and is raising money for a great cause so I look forward to our continued partnership.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Claire Horrex, Bloodwise Regional Manager for Wales, said: “This year the event is bigger than ever and we want to encourage as many families in the local community as possible to come along and enjoy a fun day out. Whether you are interested in cars or not, there’s something for everyone and children under 16 go free with a paying adult. You can buy your tickets in advance at www.bloodwise.org.uk/carshow or on the gate on the day.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Ticket prices for the event are £10 for an adult, £7 for seniors (60+) and children under 16 go free with a paying adult. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
