Concorde Classics Car Show Revs Up for our Hospices
Concorde Classics Car Show returned for another fantastic day in support of Naomi House & Jacksplace. This year's event saw over 140 cars including Ferraris, Lamborghinis and even iconic movie cars, displayed in the grounds of the famous Concorde Club in Eastleigh. Families and car enthusiasts gathered to experience a fun filled day all in support of our hospices. The event raised an incredible £14,411 which could fund over 500 hours of expert nursing care for children and young adults who visit Naomi House & Jacksplace.
Over the past 16 years, the ongoing support of Concorde Classics Car Show resulted in over £163,000 in funds raised for our hospices. We couldn't thank them enough for their continued support and the community for getting involved with this fabulous event, which helps to keep our services going for years to come.
Rob Heard, Concorde Classics Car Show Organiser, said:
Our 16th Concorde Classics Car Show, held on Sunday 21st September at The Concorde Club in Eastleigh, was a roaring success. With perfect weather, enthusiastic exhibitors, and a happy crowd, the day could not have gone better. We are thrilled to announce that this year’s event raised a significant sum for Naomi House & Jacksplace. Over the past 16 years, the show has now raised more than £163,000 to help provide specialist palliative care for children, young people, and their families across central southern England - a cause that truly makes a difference.
This year, the event was jam-packed with activities for the whole family. Tiff Needell, TV presenter and former F1 driver, together with the former Mayor of Eastleigh, Cllr David Pragnell, opened the event and welcomed ateendees to a fun filled day. There was an amazing line up of cars to view, including American police cars, NASCAR, movie cars like the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo and an impressive collection of supercars. UK Garrison’s team of Stormtroopers kept everyone on their toes and there was even an opportunity to take a ride in a F1 simulator from Silverlake Garage which was kindly supplied free of charge to help raise funds.
It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces throughout the day, and we have been blown away by the kind feedback we’ve received. Many people describing the show as a highlight of their year and already looking forward to returning. None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of our show committee, volunteer marshals, exhibitors, traders, visitors, our generous sponsor Pangea Insurance Brokers, and many others who contributed to making the day so special. We are already looking ahead to our next event, so please save the date: Sunday 20th September 2026, and join us once again for what promises to be another fantastic day!
There were special raffles generously donated from Tiff Needell, of a passenger ride in a BMW M2 around Thruxton Circuit. As well as a once in a lifetime experience of a ride in a Pagani Huayra Roadster donated by our friends at Sporting Bears Dream Rides. Special mention to Del Boy and Rodney from Only Fools & Horses, who arrived in their Trotters Independent Reliant Robyn can. A truly nostalgic treat!
