Classic Microcar & Scooter Rally
Sunday 3rd of August

Minimalist motoring that should not be missed! With a wide range of bubblecars and three-wheelers on show, some of which are exceedingly rare, accompanying a display of early scooters from such iconic brands as Lambretta, the event deserves its already considerable reputation.




August Activity Days

Fun family activities on an Amberley Working Museum Theme




Teddy Bears' Day Out
Bank Holiday Monday 25th of August

Fun and games for the very young, with free entry for every child bringing a bear. There's no excuse not to give your favourite teddy a day out!




Ale at Amberley
Friday Evening 29th August, through to Sunday afternoon 31st August 2008


Now in its third year, the expectation for this year's event is very high. With numerous guest ales, a fine venue and a range of Amberley-themed displays and activities on show, the festival will be most memorable!

Try the 'Polar Bear Bitter' specially brewed for the event! You may own the 'tea shirt' and have ridden on the train, now drink the beer!

Our event is fully supported by The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) who website is here.
