What Can I Expect

Embark on an antiques road trip in Norfolk! This brilliant experience combines the thrill of driving a retro car on the roads, with the fun of exploring antiques shops, for a real adventure day out.

You choose the car you want to drive from a list of vintage vehicles. On the day of your road trip, you will be given a specially curated map, pinpointing the antiques centres on your route.

And we have to say, there's nothing like a good old browse in an antiques shop or a rummage in an emporium filled with artefacts. You may well come across some interesting finds. That treasure hidden on the shelves. That gem of a piece. The long lost masterpiece. Who knows what you might stumble across?

If you think you've got an eye for antiques, you should take part in the optional road trip antiques challenge. The formula might sound familiar. You'll be given funds by the road trip organiser to buy an article. It will then be put into an internet auction and any profits will be given to charity. It's a great way to have even more fun on your roadtrip and make money for a worthy cause!

We think the combination of a retro car, the stunning Norfolk countryside, browsing antiques shops and taking part in the antiques road trip challenge is the perfect recipe for a quintessentially English day out.

Whether it's a birthday treat, something you organise to do with friends of family, you will love these well-organised drives out. Book your place on an antiques road trip around Norfolk today!
