Our Classic Cars & Bikes Meet has been happening here at The Flowing Spring since April 2016! They take place on the second Sunday of the month up to October.
The format is simple: just turn up in your prized 2, 3 or 4-wheeler and show it off in our grounds to the many admiring petrolheads. We have plenty of space with the car park and bottom lawn.
We have tea, coffee and other refreshments available from the bar plus bacon rolls.
You don't have to bring a classic car or bike. You're welcome to come along just to take a look round with a cuppa and have a good old natter.
Doors open at 9:30am.
Entry is completely free and you don't have to register unless you are a club intending to bring a whole host of cars.
If you are a club, we are happy to arrange a separate lunch or evening meet for you and your members where you can have a drink and a meal if you wish. Give us a call and we'll make it work for you.

The original Traveling Wilburys never played a show together as Roy Orbison sadly died just after their debut album was released in 1988.
The passing of George Harrison in 2001 and Tom Petty in 2017 meant that only Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne are left from the original line-up, so for the past few years the Trembling Wilburys have been giving audiences "the show that never was" to enormous acclaim.
Their superb two-set show features a great mix of solo hits by all five original Wilburys, such as 'Here Comes the Sun', "Pretty Woman", "My Back Pages", 'Taxman', "I Won't Back Down", "If Not For You", "You Got It", 'Hold On Tight' and 'Roll Over Beethoven', as well as Traveling Wilburys' classics such as 'End of The Line', 'Handle With Care' and 'She's My Baby'.
BAND MEMBERS: Michael Goulding as George Harrison; Dave Collison as Roy Orbison; Andy McNish as Bob Dylan & Tom Petty; Marko Laver as Jeff Lynne; Dzal Martin (Lead guitar); Steve Salvari (Keyboards) and Dave Stark (Drums).
On the last Friday of each month we host a variety of acts in the bar, each performing for 20 minutes. They can be soloists, duos, trios or small quartets as there's not a lot of space.
It's open to everyone of any musical style but mainly based around those playing acoustic instruments which we plug in using our small PA system.
If you would like to play here simply email us with your details and we'll add you to this or future Slightly Plugged Nights.
The list of who's playing this month will appear below.
