Commodore Hotel Titanic Classic Car Run

This weekend!!!

What a magnificent display of vintage and classic cars! This weekend Cobh Classic Car club will be hosting the second Titanic classic car run. Over 50 classic and vintage cars will be on display in Westbourne Place, outside the Commodore Hotel. As well as local cars and cars from around the country there will be cars from as far away as the UK and Switzerland. Amongst these will be some beauties with some pristine Bugatti's on show.

It'll all be happening on Saturday 22nd with the car run commencing from the hotel at 11am. Cars will leave of batches of four and five and will head for Fota Island. After a pit stop at Fota the run will continue and the cars will circumnavigate the Great Island - all 36kms of it!!!

The cars will return to the Commodore Hotel where they will be on display over lunchtime.

After the crews are suitably revitalised they will continue with a run to Crosshaven and back before going once more on display outside the Commodore. The revelries will get under way at that stage with a evening trad session in O'Shea's Bar with renowned band 'Pot Belly.' It should be some craic....hope to see there this Sat!!!!

Ford Model T Rally

Cobh Classic Car Club hosted a Ford Model T Rally on the streets of Cobh today. Fifty Model T cars from all over the World made for a spectacular display of motoring history. Cars were displayed at Westbourne Place, just outside the Hotel, in the adjoining two squares, and outside the Heritage Centre. It made for a spectacular sight indeed.

As part of the rally there were numerous stalls in the Promenade. This is the second Sunday on the trot that the Promenade has been transformed into a venue of arts, crafts, food, music and entertainment. Its a great draw for families and a great facility. Well done to all the organisers!!!

A visit to Cobh is well worth it; not only do you great attractions locally but you just don't know what may be going on from day to day!!! If you'd fancy a visit to Cobh over the Summer months, we've got some great accommodation deals available, read more.....
