Vecta House Care Home Classic Car Show A Roaring Success

Vecta House Care Home in Newport hosted its annual Car Show for the third year running after popular demand from the home's residents.

The weather held out for the days event that took place Wednesday July 24 at 2pm.

Residents eagerly awaited for the array of classic cars to arrive watching as they drove down the drive and took a proud place in the homes grounds.

The owners of the nostalgic vehicles are members of the Vectis Historic Vehicle Club Ltd who have supported Vecta House in making the event a roaring success since the first event took place in 2022.

Members of the club spent time with residents and visitors talking about the history of the vehicles with some residents taking the opportunity to get back the behind the wheel of their favourite car at the show.

With live music everyone enjoyed a dance to some classic rock and roll music from the fantastic musician Paolo Grillo while enjoying refreshments laid on by the home with residents later spending time reminiscing about the cars they had previously owned.

Tanya Everson, the Lifestyle Leader at Vecta House, said:

“We love to organise this event each year with the support from members of Vectis Historic Vehicle Club Ltd the summers event is always popular amongst our residents and it’s wonderful to see the smiles it brings to our residents faces.

"It’s become a real family get together “
