DRIVE IT DAY – 26 APRIL 2026
The Lavender Run takes place on Drive It Day, the annual celebration promoted by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs, encouraging classic vehicle owners to get their cars out on the road and use them as intended — not leave them sitting in the garage like ornaments.
What better way to mark Drive It Day than a full day of classic motoring on some of the country’s most enjoyable roads, shared with fellow enthusiasts?
