Annual Oldham vintage and classic car show returns
Oldham town centre is revving up for the return of Oldham’s Vintage and Classic Car Show.
The free rally, which has been organised by Tame Valley Vintage and Classic Car Club with support from Oldham Town Centre Partnership returns on Sunday, July 12 from 10am until 3.30pm.
The organisers don’t live life in the slow lane so they have been busy arranging for around 50 cars, motorcycles and light commercial vehicles to be on display.

Cars include pre-war tourers, 1960s sports and American classics.
There will also be a host of ‘automotive’ themed entertainment taking placing on the day – including a unique Comedy Car Boot Stall and performances from Oldham Theatre Workshop.
These include the Adventurous Mr Toad – Meet the marvellous Mr Toad and Ratty and their magnificent handcrafted car.

Look out for a car boot stall with a difference, where not everything is at it seems, at our Comedy Car Boot Sale Car show regulars Billy Bedlam Jazz Band are returning with their traditional jazz and big band sounds.
There will also be a chance to take a taxi ride with Oldham Theatre Workshop’s fun street theatre show, O’ld-em Taxis.
Councillor Jim McMahon, Leader of Oldham Council, said: “This event is a great opportunity for families and motoring enthusiasts to visit the town centre and see cars from days gone by.
“The event is growing year on year and previous shows have been a great success.
“Visitors will also be able to visit all the shops and attractions our town centre has to offer.”
Motorists will also be able to take advantage of our three hours free parking offer.
Vehicles will be judged during the show under 10 different categories – with one owner being presented with the ‘Car of the Show’ title.
The event starts from 10am until 3.30pm along High Street, Oldham, where owners will also be on hand to chat about their car’s history to fellow enthusiasts.
Entry in the show is free and anyone wishing to take part should email towncentreteam@oldham.gov.uk or call 0161 770 4516.
A number of food stalls from Royton Real Food Market will also be selling goods and the Sunday Car Boot will also be taking place as usual on Tommyfield Outdoor Market.
