Motors By The Moat at Leeds Castle

Leeds Castle, Maidstone, Kent, ME17 1PL

10th - 11th August

Back by demand, the immensely popular classic cars show, Motors by the Moat returns to Leeds Castle this summer.

With a programme of live stunt shows, parades and hundreds of vintage, high-performance and classic cars on the lawns. All of this entertainment is included with your admission ticket.

Watch Terry Grant, international stunt driver and multiple world record holder in a jaw dropping stunt routine set against the magnificent backdrop of the Castle.

Watch in awe as the world-class ‘DJR’ freestyle Jet Ski team demonstrate backflips, spins and huge aerial tricks on the Castle’s moat! Powered with high horsepower engines to ensure an incredible performance.

With an array of enviable, glamourous and sleek cars there will also be a focus on cars from the 1970s, to evoke “my Dad had one of those!” memories, and to celebrate Leeds Castle Foundation being open to the public for 50 glorious years.

With a host of limited edition vehicles, modified cars, kit cars and American cars on display, this weekend event has something to offer everyone.

Visit dealership stands and see the newest luxury models showcased with the chance to do some shopping. There will also be mini fairground rides for children to enjoy.

What’s more, if you’re feeling peckish we have a variety of catering outlets available in converted vehicles. Paired with live music performances this will surely bring a festival vibe. We can’t wait to welcome you back!
