In the 15th year of this popular charity Car & Gardens Show on Sunday 8 June, we are showcasing new family attractions to entertain Gloucestershire car fanatics and families at this annual event in the wonderful grounds of Highnam Court.

With over 300 classic cars already booked in this is a record number ahead of the event, so it promises to be feast for the eyes on the front lawn of Highnam Court, in front of the lakes.

Very large trucks will also be on show along with some vintage scrambler bikes and Gloucestershire Police vehicles.

New for 2025 we are partnering with the Good Day Farm (Gloucester) who specialise in bringing their menagerie of beautiful animals out into the community (schools, care homes, nurseries and hospitals) for wellness and therapy benefits. Come and say hello, meet the pets and get involved.

Something for all the family, we have the very popular steam engine rides, go karts, bouncy castles, storm troopers, and many other treats including ice creams and cakes! There will be stalls with car memorabilia, sweets, bric a brac and our fantastic ‘famous’ raffle with great prizes and all proceeds going to Pied Piper. The fabulous Face Fanatics team are there to create some special face art!

Nick Broady, chair of the Trustees and original founder of the show 15 years ago said: ‘It is always a great family day out in these wonderful grounds and last year we were thrilled to attract a record attendance with 4,500 visitors and guests. The show raised a staggering £52,000 for sick & disabled children in Gloucestershire.”

Enjoy music entertainment on Highnam’s traditional bandstand with performances from the Rock Choir and Got2sing.

Be sure to wander around the 50 acres of beautiful gardens which are at their stunning best in June. Enjoy the green space and wood carvings and over 6,000 roses in the formal gardens, oriental gardens, woodland and the lakes.

It’s still just £10 an adult and we are pleased to say ‘kids go free’ under 16. Pre-book entrance tickets to get in quicker.

We couldn’t do this show every year without so many loyal volunteers manning the entrance gate, car parking and helping on stands as well as serving teas and cakes in the Orangery. There are vans around the ground offering food and beverages.

Huge thanks to Roger Head OBE and headline sponsors, Malvern Tyres Group and APM Fire & Security, who are helping us stage this one-day family show.

We look forward to seeing everyone for a traditional family day out. Tickets to book your car on or pre-book your admission tickets are here at www.piedpiperappeal.co.uk/product/general-public/
