The annual indoor Classic & Sports Car Show returns to Newcastle’s Slieve Donard Hotel at the end of this month.

The show runs over the weekend, Friday, January 26, to Sunday January 28. The hotel’s grand ballroom will be full of more than 40 vehicles spanning 60 years of automotive history, all of them original or lovingly restored by their local owners.

Highlights of this year’s show will be a collection of 5 Mini Cooper S ex-works cars that competed in the likes of the Monte Carlo Rally and helped to create a 1960s motoring icon. Run by the County Down Car Enthusiasts and now in its 24th Year, the show continues to donate all proceeds to Cancer Research UK.

Admission is £5 for adults and £2 for children under 12. Opening times are 4 pm to 10 pm on Friday, January 26, 10 am to 10 pm Saturday 27 January and 10 am to 5 pm on Sunday January 28.

Always a great show and nice to have a new line up every year. Going to miss this years unfortunately as I have other plans made for that weekend (I've seen all the works cars that will be in attendance many times anyway).
