Published: 06/02/2025
For those with a treasured classic vehicle, National Drive It Day is one of the first opportunities after the long winter to get it out for a run, and Castle View is again providing a coffee stop for participants to build into their itinerary.
KEY POINTS
• Sunday 27 April, 2025 - coffee and cakes available from 10am - 2.00pm
• If you own a classic vehicle, drive it to Castle View on Drive It Day and support the NSPCC
• Open to anyone with a classic car, van, motorcycle or commercial vehicle and especially those participating in the national Drive It Day event run by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs
• Coffee stop at Castle View, Helston Lane, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 5GG
Just a mile from the centre of Windsor and easily accessed from the M4 and M25, Windsor Great Park, Legoland and Ascot, Castle View will be open to all classic vehicle owners and those keen to view some beautiful classic cars.
“As great classic car enthusiasts ourselves, we thought it would be fun to host a coffee stop for anyone in the West London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Surrey areas to get their old vehicles out. There’s no knowing what sort of vehicles will be here on the day, but last year we had a wonderful assortment of over 45 classic sports and saloon cars, and we can promise some tasty cakes produced by our talented homeowners,” says Karl Hallows, managing director of Castle View.
To join in, drivers can purchase a ‘Drive It Day’ car plaque from just £12.50 at https://www.driveitday.co.uk/shop and just turn up on the day, no pre-booking required.
National Drive It Day was created by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) in 2005. It is the occasion when historic vehicle enthusiasts and the public at large have the opportunity to celebrate the One Thousand Mile Trial organised in 1900 to prove the viability of the new invention, the motor vehicle. It is also a chance to raise awareness and support amongst the public for the historic vehicle movement and keeping transport heritage on UK roads, while also raising funds for the NSPCC’s Childline.
