Stilton Cheese Car Run
Leicestershire/Rutland
Leisure
23 Apr 2023
UNTIL Sunday 23 April
This run originally retraced the route, along the now quiet country lanes, taken to deliver cheeses from Quenby Hall at Hungarton in Leicestershire, where it was produced, to the Bell Inn at Stilton in Cambridgeshire, where it gets it's name.
The original route of 39 miles taken to deliver the cheese was by horse drawn carriage stopping off to make deliveries of cheeses at the various villages and towns along the route and was one of the longest commercial carriage rides until internal combustion engined vans and lorries took over as the main mode of commercial road transport.
This event is open to all classic cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles and kit cars.
Due to the popularity of the event only prior booked entries can be accepted and to avoid congestion the number of vehicles is limited to 300.
