Diss’ vibrant vintage vehicles bring an eye-catching to town’s visitors.

People turned out in their droves last weekend as a town hosted an annual event centred on classic vehicles.

Diss Heritage Transport Fayre offered eye-catching cars and motorcycles dotted around Diss town centre – to the delight of visitors.

Live music, food and a pop-up 1950s filling station were all part of the day, along with face painting and a raffle.

Some 250 vehicles were on show, with drivers dressed to suit the period of their vehicles and prizes given out for the best car and suitably attired occupants.

“We had between 140 and 150 cars and around 100 motorycles altogether which was around a 50 per cent increase on last year,” said Ray Bryant, from Diss, who helped organiser Peter Hyde with publicity for the event.

“People like the fact that it is in the centre of town and easily accessible, and it brings visitors in, which gives a boost to businesses as well, which is one of the reasons it was set up.

“We had a barbecue and lots of live music, so it was a day of family fun that everyone seemed to enjoy being a part of.

“All era of vehicle are welcome, and our oldest vehicle this year was a model T Ford dating to 1905,” he added.

The barbecue and raffle raised funds to help support the event, which is in its sixth year, having first been held in 2015. It was forced to take a two-year hiatus during the Covid-19 pandemic.
