Organised by Wadebridge Rotary, the annual event attracted more than 1,000 vehicles and a huge crowd on Sunday 19th July, with glorious summer weather helping to create the most successful Wheels event to date.

The event has raised more than £34,000 for good causes, morethan double the £16,000 raised by last year’s rain-affected show.

The spectacular line-up included classic cars, motorcycles,commercial vehicles, tractors, military vehicles, stationary engines and historic trucks, while a special celebration of Porsche saw more than 100 examples of the German marque gathered together, the largest collection of Porsches ever seen in Cornwall.

Elizabeth Davey from Wadebridge Rotary said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who brought their vehicles to Wheels 2026 and to the thousands who came along and enjoyed the day.

“The weather was absolutely perfect and it was fantastic to see the showground so busy, with so many people enjoying the incredible range of vehicles on display.

“We’re delighted that the event was such a roaring success and, most importantly, that we have been able to raise more than £34,000 for good causes.

“Wadebridge Wheels simply wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our exhibitors, our visitors, our volunteers and everyone who helps to make the event happen. We are extremely grateful.”

Wadebridge Rotary will decide which local good causes willreceive donations at its meeting next month, with the final beneficiaries to be announced once those decisions have been made.

This year’s event also featured trade stands, auto jumble stalls and a wide range of food and drink, providing a full day out for motoring enthusiasts and families alike.

Elizabeth added: “We’re already looking forward to next year and hope we can build on the success of Wheels 2026. For now, though, we’re delighted to have raised such a fantastic amount for local charities and would like to thank everyone who played their part.”

The date for the 2027 Wadebridge Wheels is Sunday 18th July. For more information, visit wadebridgewheels.co.uk.
