Festival of Motoring
Friends of Valence and Sevenoaks Motoring Club presents
Festival of Motoring
Sunday 12th May 2024
Welcome to the 2024 Festival of Motoring at Valence School! It promises to be a day full of fun and excitement, both for car enthusiasts and for anyone who just enjoys a good day out!
The event will include an autosolo competition where racers will complete timed loops round the Valence school grounds, in an effort to secure the fastest time of the day. Alongside this will be a display paddock containing classic, performance and rare cars, and a non-competitive hill climb parade of some of these cars during the day.
There will be many food and drink options, or feel free to bring a picnic to enjoy in the grounds. There will also be a raffle and music, plus full commentary of the event so you can follow the progress of the racers.
All profit raised by Friends of Valence will be used directly for the benefit of Valence students. Valence school is a school that caters for children aged 4-19 who have physical disabilities and complex medical needs.
