Classic cars on the Gate Streets at Gloucester Goes Retro

The Gate Streets

The Best car show in the west

 

The Gate Streets are the heart of your journey through a 100 years of vintage motoring, from the birth of the combustion engine through the glamour of 50s chrome, to the classic designs of the swinging 60s, groovy 70s, futuristic 80s and beyond. There's also the Restoration Village at the Folk of Gloucester, street performers, fabulous cafes and pubs, and much more.

WHAT'S ON

Westgate Street - 1900-1959

​

Explore this historic street, the gateway to Gloucester Cathedral, and take in the display of cars from the birth of motoring up to the golden age of gleaming chrome and Hollywood Glamour.​

​

The Cotton Owners and Enthusiasts Club will be displaying a range of Cotton motorcycles in Westgate Street, near to where they were manufactured. You can expect to see pre-war models with their famous triangulated frame, post-war trials and sports bikes and a rare example from the Scottish International Six Day Trial (ISDT).

Eastgate Street - The swinging sixties

On this stylish street, groove into the 1960s, teaming with iconic cars from the era and flower power fashions on display.

 

​

Northgate Street - 1970-1989

​

Don those flares and get your jive on as you explore classic 70s cars. Or go full 'Stranger Things' with autos from 80s.

SOUTHGATE Street - The Nineties & Y2K

​

The nineties and Y2K are back, and not just on TikTok! Jump back into the era of Cool Britannia for a big punch of nostalgia, with displays of cars that might've been your first (and obviously favourite).
