Lymm Transport Day

Event Venue Details

Lymm Historic Transport Day is one of Cheshire's best loved events, attracting thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds. We show everything from classic cars and military vehicles, to vintage bicycles and steam traction engines, historic working boats to model railways. Alongside these exhibits we have dozens of stalls selling all manner of food, clothing, toys and local produce etc. With live music, remote controlled cars and lots of lego, there's something for everyone!

Unlike other classic car shows, Lymm Historic Transport Day is entirely volunteer run, with all of our profits going to charity.


Our journey so far...
Lymm Historic Transport Day was born in 2013 as an event within the Lymm Festival. The brainchild of Alan Williams, it grew over the years and became an independent event whilst maintaining close bonds with its parent Festival. Since then we've been showcasing fantastic vehicles, raising money for charity and bringing people together for a brilliant day out - all in an area with a rich transport history!

​

The Transport Day is run entirely by a committee of dedicated volunteers, as well as some 100 volunteers on the day itself. We receive no set funding from the Council and the costs of the event are raised entirely from ticket sales and sponsorship. ​After our costs all the profits are donated to local causes. In 2024 we donated £12,000 to charity and you can find out more about our beneficiaries HERE.



But the ways in which we aim to benefit the community extend beyond the direct donations we make.



With exhibitors and visitors from as far as Glasgow, Anglesey and Southampton, we boost the profile of the whole Lymm area.

We employ local, companies to help us with everything from PA systems to printing.

We support the brilliant local press - both print and radio - by taking paid adverts.

We offer free plots on the field to local charities, bringing them face to face with thousands of visitors.

Transport Day increases footfall through the village over the weekend, providing a great opportunity for local businesses.

Most importantly, we boost community spirit by bringing people from all demographics together for a great day out.

Lymm Historic Transport Day is a fun, family event for young and old alike.
