An informal gathering of old cars in the heart of Petworth, held on the eve of the Goodwood Revival
Thursday 16 September 2021
Thursday 16 September 2021
For just one evening, a 'flash mob' of old cars takes over the centre of the historic town of Petworth.
All the parking spaces in the Market Square are reserved purely for old vehicles. It is a small town centre largely unaltered over the last century.
(Old means pre-1967 - Goodwood Motor Circuit closed to competitive racing in August 1966.)
There are only a limited number of parking spaces in Market Square, so when it is full, cars will be asked to park in side streets and/or in the public car park just off the Square.
The event is free and intended to be kept informal, but we ask people attending with old cars to register on the site so that we can have an idea of numbers to expect. No need to register if you're just coming and look and to chat.
We require some "marshalling" assistance from volunteers. If you would be prepared to help, please contact us here.

This year we are delighted to have the addition of entertainment from the Kerry Le Bern duo who will be performing live in the Square. Kerry and her saxophonist, Dave Funnell, will be performing an eclectic mix of vintage musical gems throughout the evening so, come and listen, and why not have a dance and let your hair down!
We will also have delicious pizzas from Pizza Trullo. In addition Petworth's own eateries, the Angel Inn, the E.Street Bar and Grill, Meghdoots, and Basmati will all be open for business.
The Star in Market Square will be serving drinks all evening.
