An event in Dalton is going to allow residents to get up close and personal with automotive history.

A classic car and bike show will be held at the Newton Arms on Monday, April 1 between 10:00am and 4:00pm.

As well as the display of treasured vehicles, guests will be greeted by music and refreshments - with the bar open from 12 noon.

Trophies will also be presented to those with the best vehicles on display, with entry open to all.

To make the most of the Bank Holiday, the event will come with free admission to encourage as many people as possible to get involved, with children also welcome to get their first taste of a bygone age of the motor industry.
