Cars at the Furnace

Our extremely popular monthly car rallies return for 2026. Held on the second Tuesday of the month, we welcome anyone with a vehicle who wants to come and show it to the world. We’ve had everything from a Model T Ford to the latest race-spec McLaren, mopeds to tourers, and even a Dalek! Even if you haven’t got a vehicle to show, you’re welcome to come along and enjoy the show! We have plenty of visitor car parking spaces. We will have food, a bar and ice cream to make it a great night out for the whole family. As always, we ask for donations on the door to support us and the Furnace Motor Club.
