Ride it Day
Every year the FBHVC has
its Drive it/Ride it Day on the Sunday nearest to St
George’s Day.
The aim of Drive it Day is to increase public awareness of
Vintage and Classic vehicles by having as many as possible on the
road for one day. There are many events—see the
Federation Website—www.fbhvc.co.uk—for
more details. Several museums arrange special parking areas
and reduced admission fees for anyone arriving in or on an old
vehicle. Or you can just take your old vehicle along to
whatever you’d be doing anyway: going to work, going
shopping, anything.
25th April—Ride it Day
In 2021, Drive it
Day will be run in support of the NSPCC’s Childline

Obviously everything depends on the situation at the time and any
restrictions, etc, but if allowed it WILL be going ahead; please
