After postponing Vintage Stony on New Years Eve we are pleased to announce a new date set for 2nd March. The new date is the beginning of spring and is the prefect time to blow the cobwebs off of these lovely vehicles. The format will be the same with the Market Square showcasing the Pre War vehicles.
No need to book – Classic cars have display areas on the High Street and Cofferidge Close.

It is with great sadness that due to the forecast adverse weather conditions for tomorrow that for reasons of safety the Classic and Vintage Organising Committee have decided to POSTPONE tomorrow’s Vintage Stony Festival. Please DO NOT bring your cars, bikes or military vehicles to Stony Stratford tomorrow.
We are bitterly disappointed to have to make this announcement but we expect to be able to provide a new date for the Festival as soon as possible.
It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the passing of Matt Ireland, Stony Stratford’s official Town Crier.
Supported by his wife Charlie, Matt had been a strong supporter of the Stony Automotive Festivals having been to every one of Classic and Vintage Stony Festivals since 2017. Matt would be seen walking through the streets and squares of the town during the event announcing when the judging was going to take place or the prizes were going to be handed out or anything else that was needed!
Our sincere condolences go to Charlie, his family and all that knew Matt. We will be dedicating our “one minutes noise” in memory of Matt at this coming Vintage Stony on New Years Day.
For the first 100 Vintage / Pre-War vehicles we have a breakfast roll and a hot drink waiting for you (maximum of 2 per vehicle).
New for our 15th Anniversary!!
Limited to 100 of each we have produced Pin Badges and Rally Plaques which can be purchased on the day from the information desk.
All profits from the sale of badges and rally plaques go to Willen Hospice.
We are always looking for volunteers in the run up to the event and also on the day. Can you help?
Drop us an email if you can [email protected]
Fancy seeing some of these fabulous Vintage vehicles take on a hill climb. Why not visit Aston Hill 100 17th May 2025

About us
Welcome to Stony Stratford
The jewel in the crown of Milton Keynes and home of Vintage Stony. We can’t lay claim to putting Stony Stratford on the map – the Romans did that for us, but we do run two pretty special and popular car and motorcycle festivals in Stony, that have been growing steadily in size and stature for the past 10 years.
Our New Year’s Day event, starting at 09.30am, showcases pre-1940 cars and bikes, which have pride of place in the Market Square. Expect to ‘see’ a great deal of Vintage cars and bikes and even a few commercials, expect to ‘hear’ a cacophony of engines as we celebrate the New Year with ‘one minutes noise’ at midday, followed at 12.30, by our unmissable awards presentation, expect to ‘eat and drink’ at one of the many pubs and restaurants and stalls that open up especially to welcome you. Oh, and you can expect a free bacon butty if you are one of the first of the vintage pilots to arrive. The event ends at 2.00pm but you are welcome to linger longer and take advantage of the hospitality that Stony Stratford offers.
It’s free for spectators and drivers but donations to Willen Hospice would be appreciated. We are informed that they need to raise an astonishing 4.7 million a year to make it all happen, so please give generously – every little helps and any donation no matter how small will be gratefully received.
We look forward to seeing you here.
