MORE than 250 exhibitors were at the Louth annual Classic Car and Country Show on Sunday.

Classic car enthusiasts gathered in Louth’s Market Place to view the many cars before they left for a drive in the Wolds.

The cars then joined many other attractions at Deighton Close field, off the A16, where there were craft stalls, charity stalls, games, refreshments as well as music from local band Southbase. There was also a raffle to win a MX5 convertible car.

The annual event is organised by the Rotary Club of Louth to raise money for local charities.
