All Aboard for Oswestry’s Classic & Vintage Transport Festival

Start your engines! The 8th annual Oswestry Classic & Vintage Transport Festival is rolling into town and is the perfect excuse to explore and unwind. Hosted at the British Ironworks Centre (SY11 4JH) from 9am to 4pm, this event combines classic cars and vintage vehicles with a quirky location and tasty treats.

More Than Just Motors

This isn’t your average transport festival – the venue itself is a showstopper.

The British Ironworks Centre is the UK’s leading metal sculpture park: a family-run, award-winning destination full of bespoke, larger-than-life artwork. Home to intricate pieces of art crafted from scrap metal, as well as the infamous Knife Angel and Manchester Bee sculptures, every corner offers a ‘wow’ moment and photo opportunity.

There’s also an artisan showroom, café, and plenty of green space to explore, making it a fantastic spot for families, dog owners, and day-trippers alike.

Entry is £7 for adults, free for children and British Ironworks members.
