Ormskirk Motor Festival

If you love cars then this is certainly the event for you.

A great fun day out for all the family. With an amazing array of cars and motorbikes of all ages

I got there nice and early just after it had rained and managed to get some lovely shots of rain drops on bonnets before the motor enthusiasts started to lovingly dry their "babies".

As is often the case with these events getting there before the crowds is the key. The car owners are usually very knowledgeable and happy to talk about their hobby. They are also often quite happy to pose with their cars and if you ask nicely they may even open the bonnet to allow you to get some shots of the "guts".

I love doing these sorts of events, the atmosphere is much more relaxed than you might expect.

The paddock shows allow you to spend as much time as you need composing the perfect shot and the parades just add that extra sparkle as there is nothing quite like seeing these beautiful vehicles running.
