More than 100 vintage vehicles are set to converge on Burnham’s seafront on Saturday afternoon (June 7th) for the 15th annual Vale of Avalon Vintage Vehicle Road Run.
The South Esplanade will be closed to traffic for four hours to allow the crowds to wander around the cars, motorbikes, vans and lorries which date back more than 20 years.
Among the vehicles on display will be vintage ice cream vans, police cars and fire engines alongside valuable old cars and motorbikes.
The 41-mile road run attracts large crowds of spectators to the town’s seafront and will this year set off from Burnham for the first time. The cars will arrive in Burnham at 2.30pm and leave en masse at 5.30pm.
Organiser Daphne Stone told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We’re hoping for another great event. The vehicles will start arriving on Burnham seafront in the afternoon and be there for three hours, when they’ll make their way to Glastonbury.”
Thousands of pounds is raised for charity at each year’s event, with this year’s rally benefiting the Royal Ghurkha Regiment Welfare Fund.
