Classic Cars at Hesslewood 2025 – Supporting Humber Rescue

The 5th annual ‘Classic Cars at Hesslewood’ event was our most successful yet! Hesslewood Charitable Causes Fund was delighted to host the event at Hesslewood Office Park in August. It was a day for everyone—from classic vehicle enthusiasts to families looking for a fun day out—and we are overwhelmed by the brilliant feedback from vendors, exhibitors, and the entire community. We are especially proud to announce that the event attracted record footfall and vehicle numbers, and, most importantly, raised a significant amount for this year’s supported charity, Humber Rescue.
