    The Car Fest roars into action at midday. Cars available for paid passenger rides include Ferraris, Porsches, Jaguars, an Aston Martin, Bentley, and a Cobra. The static display features vehicles from the Prodrive Heritage Collection and a BAR Formula One car, as well as many other covetable classics.

    Deddy Rocks will take to the stage in the Market Place at 2pm and this year’s headliners will be the four-piece tribute band Queen II. They will be joined by three other festival favourites: ‘Cold Blue Daze’, a four-piece rock and pop covers band; ‘The Knights of Mentis’, an acoustic 10-piece that combines Americana, country, folk and roots music and ‘The Dave Arrowsmith Band’, an electric blues trio that specialises in applying a modern funky twist to old favourite blues hits.

    "This year’s festival contains something for everyone. We hope that you will be delighted with all that is on offer.”
