After the huge success of last year when large crowds of people attended the first event, over 100 unique vehicles from across the decades went on show at our second annual ‘Burnham Classic and Vintage Vehicle Display’ organised with the support of Bridgwater Classic and Vintage Club to boost footfall in the town centre.

As with last year the Chamber of Trade does not allow out-of-town traders stalls at this event in order to ensure all trade is directed into Burnham’s cafés and shops – this was also our policy at last year’s event.
