Sporting Bears Dream Rides
The wonderful Sporting Bears will return to the show in 2024, offering visitors a chance to enjoy ‘Dream Rides’ in a fabulous variety of classic, sports and super cars in aid of UK children’s charities.
The Sporting Bears is a club run entirely by volunteers and so far has raised over £3.3 million for children’s charities such as CHAS, The Borders Children’s Charity and The Hearts and Minds Clown Doctors
The rides will run throughout the day, departing from the Castle front, where – for a donation to the Bears’ nominated charities – you can book a thrilling 10-mile passenger ride in the exotic car of your choice. Performance cars scheduled include Aston Martin, Ariel Atom, Lancia Integrale Evo, KITT Trans Am Nightrider and Ultima Can-Am. While their more relaxed rides are usually available in a Chevrolet Bel-Air, a Rolls-Royce and for fun Messerschmitt Bubble Cars.
Dream Rides are run under normal traffic laws and all the volunteer drivers have given their time, cars and fuel, so that 100% of your donation goes to charity.
