Clevedon Cars and Coffee
Discussion
This month's Clevedon Cars & Coffee was brilliant. Such a friendly, welcoming, inclusive event. An amazing array of stunning cars there, the band were fantastic and a lovely drive out to a fab lunch spot afterwards. I thoroughly recommend it!
Free to turn up and you don't need to book. There is a donation bucket going around to pay for the band so the organiser doesn't have to foot the bill. Clevedon makes for a fabulous backdrop for the cars too.
Here are a few of my favourites from the day.

The firm I work for lends one of the car parks. I have been to the vast majority & it always surprises me that there are never the same cars on display - there's always something new to see & an eclectic variety of cars (& bikes) - old/new, bargain basement/big bucks, British/European/American even Russian (not Lada or Moskvich!).
I think the event has been going for almost three years now & none of the events has had significant rain - the sun always seems to shine at Clevedon Coffee & Cars!
As others have said - well worth a visit. Try to make time to support some of the independent shops in the vicinity because they add to the special atmosphere (unlike some car meets, it's in the heart of a town and at a civilised time).
The organiser with support of a core of marshalls has established something special & has exciting plans for the future. More information & banter on the dedicated Facebook group.

Agree with most of that, it’s a great event and certainly puts some money in the till of Leaf and Bean. But for me it did start to suffer a little from being a lot of the same vehicles each time, especially over winter. That said, I’ve missed the last two which looked like they might have been the biggest yet. Generally surprised there aren’t more people there than there are. Paul Woodman brought a press Aston and Mclaren to the first one, not seem him bring any since.

I went to this for the first time this month, it s a great meet but quite spread out. Impressive to have the backing of the council though.
A bigger event planned for July so hoping to head back down.
See my post from last week - there are links to the Facebook page, regularly updated with what's happening & where. I'm on the CCC Planning Group & will check this thread & mine from time to time and will answer any questions.A bigger event planned for July so hoping to head back down.
We have space for 500 cars in July - as the OP says it is spread out, but that is our USP - we are throughout the town so you can visit a variety of independent shops, bars, cafés & restaurants whilst getting your fix of cars.
We also have a good variety of CCC merchandise available, newly arrived are pin & radiator badges in addition to our popular T shirts, polo shirts, baseball caps etc. Buying the kit means the event stays free of charge for exhibitors & we can pay for bands etc.

Hello fellow Smurf! I started this thread last year 😀 We have space for 500 cars in July - as the OP says it is spread out, but that is our USP - we are throughout the town so you can visit a variety of independent shops, bars, cafés & restaurants whilst getting your fix of cars.

Nice to see people are still posting in it.
We are trying to keep it small, but regularly get 50+ cars. Gassing Station | South West | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
