About

Classic Car Rally at North Weald Station

Sunday 7th July 2024

Soak up the nostalgia of yesteryear with a wide selection of classic cars on display at North Weald.

Not just for the car enthusiast - anyone who loves steam and diesel locomotives and buses will have a great day too. Expect an eclectic mix of classic, sports cars and other vehicles on display in the field at North Weald Station. 

The steam and diesel trains and vintage London bus services will also be operating. 

At North Weald, the LNER Cafe will be open offering a selection of hot and cold drinks and snacks, including breakfast items during the morning. 

Take the train to Ongar Station where the Penny Salon gallery will be open with a themed display of photographic images from the lens of renowned photographers and authors Geoff Silcock, Malcolm Batten and the late Reg Batten. Admission is free.
