Vintage Vehicle Rally motors into Head of Steam

A variety of rare and unusual vintage vehicles from across the region will be motoring into Darlington this weekend.

The Head of Steam – Darlington Railway Museum will play host to a special Vintage Vehicle Rally on Sunday (22 May) between 11am and 3pm.

It will be a chance to see dozens of vintage cars, buses, military vehicles and vans from across the North-East and Yorkshire on the museum’s event field.

There will also be a mini train ride, arts and crafts, juggling and balloon making.

Sarah Gouldsbrough, Acting Manager at the Head of Steam, said:

“This will be a great day out for the whole family. As well as getting the chance to see a great array of vintage vehicles you can also visit the museum and see our permanent exhibitions.”

Entrance is £1 per person and includes entry into the museum. Annual family pass members go free.
