On the 4th and 5th July, the Llangollen and Corwen Railway is hosting its Classic Transport Weekend.

Nearly 400 vehicles are set to appear at Glyndyfrdwy Station as part of one of the biggest ever gatherings of heritage transport in North Wales.

There will be a range of vehicles, including cars, buses, tractors, military vehicles, and much more!

The event continues into the evening on Saturday with a ‘Party in the Park’ concert starting at 6 pm with live performances.

There will be a shuttle bus service in place to help people get to and from the concert.

Alongside the classic vehicles, there will be an intensive timetable in place across the weekend.

Further information on the event can be found on their website.

“George and I both own and restore vintage buses, so Classic Transport Weekend is something we’re incredibly passionate about. Every year the event gets bigger and better, but this year is on a completely different scale. We are expecting close to 400 vehicles across the weekend and will once again be using neighbouring fields to accommodate the exhibits and visitor parking. We are enormously grateful to our local farming neighbours for their continued support, particularly with the tractor displays which have become a real highlight of the event.

“It’s a huge amount of work behind the scenes, but seeing families enjoying themselves, enthusiasts swapping stories and visitors arriving from across the country makes it all worthwhile. Adding the Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir to our Party in the Park programme on Saturday evening makes this year’s event even more special. Whether your passion is steam or diesel locomotives, classic buses, military vehicles, vintage tractors, motorcycles or historic cars, there really is something for everyone. We genuinely believe this will be the biggest and best Classic Transport Weekend ever staged in Wales.”
