There is a small admission fee at the gate, however, all children’s activities are free once inside the field.

There will be the annual presentation of the Neil McLaughlin Cup and awards for various classes. This will take place before the Vintage Road Run. The run will go through the village, up Ballyeamon Road, over Red Bay, out the Coast Road and back through the village. The vehicles will leave Blaney’s Field at approximately 3.30pm.

Each year the aim is to improve and add to the already impressive display. Anyone with vintage machinery, cars, motorcycles, stationary engines or implements are encouraged and welcome to exhibit their machines.

Free transport is available from the Parish Centre car park, Chapel Road, in Cushendall to Blaney’s Field throughout the day. Everyone welcome.

The Glens Vintage Club are holding a Dance – Music by TP Hickson in the Glens Hotel at 9pm.
