Over 900 cars take place every year, with 100 stalls springing up to sell jewellery clothes and food and drinks. There is also a licensed bar, bouncy castles, fairground rides as well as incredible family friendly entertainment. This year's show and summer fair was set to take place on August 3, before it was abruptly cancelled by organisers. The show is held by Cornwall Hospice Care who said that 'operational pressures' led to the cancellation of the event. A spokesperson for the charity said: "We're very sorry to announce that this year's Mount Edgcumbe American & Classic Car Show & Summer Fayre, which was due to take place on Sunday, August 3, 2025, has been cancelled. 'Due to unexpected operational pressures, Cornwall Hospice Care have made the difficult decision to withdraw from this year's event which sadly means the event must be cancelled. 'We know how much the show means to our supporters, car enthusiasts, local businesses, and the community — and we share your disappointment. "The show is a cherished part of the summer calendar, celebrating stunning classic and American vehicles in a truly iconic setting. 'This much-loved event not only brings people together but also plays an important role in raising funds for the specialist care provided by Cornwall Hospice Care and supporting the valuable work of The Friends of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park." £50m supercar collection for sale after icon's death - including rare classic The spokesperson for the Cornwall Hospice Care added that the charity's team will be in touch with anyone who has already booked a ticket or stall for the event. Also, they have confirmed that Mount Edgcumbe Classic Car Show & Summer Fayre is set to go ahead next year. The news comes after the top 10 classic cars to buy for under £3000 were revealed. The Alfa Romeo GTV Spider took the top spot with its 16-valve four-cylinder engine and stylish design. Costing just £2000 to buy, the luxury car is both a beloved classic and a bargain.
