Why organisers hope popular Lymm event could be one of first to return

The event, cancelled last summer, has been scheduled for June 27 – less than a week after the ending of the last of the lockdown restrictions on June 21.

Event director Alan Williams explained “There is at last a very real prospect of being able to go ahead but there is very little wiggle room in here.

"We are still absorbing this latest government announcement and can expect clarifications and changes in the weeks to come that might create complications.

"If the easing of restrictions is delayed at any stage by even a week we may yet find ourselves on the wrong side of that 'no restrictions' date and, worst case, unable to go ahead - so fingers are firmly crossed.

"If we can proceed we may need to adapt and adjust to meet any remaining rules and to generally demonstrate good, safe practice.

"But it will all be worth it if it means a positive outcome so right now we are forging ahead with arrangements."

Lymm Transport Day

Main event field manager John Parry added “We really hope we can make this work and celebrate together with an event worthy of Lymm Historic Transport Day and Lymm in general.”

The team already had the event 'on ice', with traders, exhibitors and attractions all booked back in December. The vast majority of these were originally scheduled for the cancelled 2020 event.

“We are sensing enormous enthusiasm from our car clubs and other vehicle owners. We would love to make it happen” Chris Berg, vehicle co-ordinator said.
