The Return of the Car Carnival on the Green saw dozens of vehicles of all shapes and sizes on display to help raise money for Trinity Hospice.

It is the third show held in Wrea Green in recent years - with participants asked to donate £10, with all proceeds going to the Bispham-based centre.

A spokesman for Trinity Hospice said: “Wareings Buildings is once again taking part in the Trinity Hospice Corporate Challenge. The company receive a £50 seed fund and the challenge is to multiply it as much as possible and hand it back to Trinity as a much larger donation.

“It’s the third time Wareings Buildings have run this as a charity challenge and last year raised nearly £5,000 for the hospice .

“We had everything from Lamborghinis and Ferraris to Model T Fords and combine harvesters.”

This year cars were split into three categories, including super cars, classic and vintage, and then judged, with the winners of each category being presented with a trophy at the end of the event.
