Transport Festival Sunday 25th June 2023

Nailsworth is really motoring this month with the return of its fabulous transport festival!

Running from 10.30am until 8pm on Sunday, June 25, it promises fun for the whole family. The festival will take over the bus station and environs with a vintage car and bike show, electric vehicles, food stalls, music, dancing, vintage games and much more.

There’ll be lots for children, including their own mini electric cars to try, games and face-painting.

Many of the town’s shops will be open in the morning. And there’s a shuttle bus running all day from Avening Road up to Forest Green and back.

Organiser Sarah Martin, of Nailsworth Chamber of Trade and Commerce, said, ‘It’s a festival that celebrates transport in all its forms – from classic cars and bikes right through to today’s electric vehicles. Nailsworth CAN, the town’s climate action group, are also a big part of the day; they’ll be there, showing people how they can become more sustainable and environmentally friendly.’

Members of Nailsworth CAN will be also be running a consultation on transport needs and wishes, from improved bus services to EV charging.

Dr Richard Erskine of Nailsworth CAN said,

‘It will be a fantastic, free day out for families, for people who live in the town, and for visitors from further away,’ Sarah Martin added. ‘Our aim is also to demonstrate what a fabulous place Nailsworth is.’
