Stilton Classic Car Run 2026
Get ready for an unforgettable experience celebrating classic motoring and local heritage at the Stilton Classic Car Run 2026!
This unique event commemorates the historic route originally used to deliver Stilton cheese. The journey began at Quenby Hall in Hungarton, Leicestershire, where the cheese was produced, and ended at the Bell Inn in Stilton, Cambridgeshire, where the cheese gained its famous name. The original 39-mile route was completed by horse-drawn carriage, with deliveries made to villages
and towns along the way. It was one of the longest commercial carriage routes of its time,
until motorised vans and lorries replaced horse-drawn transport.
Today, the Stilton Classic Car Run continues this legacy, bringing together car enthusiasts from across the region. Participants will showcase a spectacular range of vintage and classic cars while enjoying a scenic drive through beautiful countryside and historic villages.
