Show and Shine Car Show is Right Next to Hendra for 2011!

This year you can be right next to one of Newquay’s biggest events: the Show and Shine Car Show! For 2011, on Sunday May 29th, the show is going to be held in the large field just opposite Morrison’s, down the road from Hendra.

A swarm of VW camper vans and custom made cars cruise down to Newquay for the Run to the Sun weekend. The show and shine is the chance for motorists to show off their beloved vehicles at one of the largest shows in Europe.

The event, which is usually held annually in the Tregunnel car park, is set to attract thousands, organisers expect about 25,000 people! There will be a great atmosphere, so even if you are not a VW enthusiast it will be certainly worth a look. Especially as it is just a stones throw away from Hendra – you won’t even have to queue up in the traffic, as you can reach the field by foot!

The Volksworld magazine and the National Association of Street Cars will be there and have judges on the look-out for the top-ten cars, who will win a cash prize and an official Run to the Sun title.

Entry is £2 per adult and £1 per child. If you are taking part it will be £10, but you are advised to get there early. There is free parking.
