Vintage vehicle enthusiasts are gearing up to attend the eagerly anticipated return of the Run to the Sun event in St Mawgan on Saturday and Sunday.

RTTS 23 will be showcasing hot rods, classics, customs and old VWs at a 50 acre greenfield site at Nanskival.

Highlights will include a cruise from Bristol to the site, car shows and the popular Show n Shine.

The event will also showcase a top line up of music, which includes a live PA and DJ set by 90’s dance act K-Klass as well as DJ sets by 808 State and Slipmatt, who are legends of the dance music scene.

Managing director Andreas Christopheros said: “A big part of any RTTS is the Run to Cornwall and this year’s Run on Saturday is a special one.

"The turnout will be much greater than any other run we’ve done, and I expect in the future too. 

“This year, our attendees have really found the nostalgia and are planning on really committing to the Run.

"We will be picking up RTTS’ers from most service stations and laybys as we roll on through. 

“There’s going to a large number of hot rods, classics, customs and old VWs traveling in convey to Newquay on the Saturday afternoon.

"It’s going to be quite some sight and no doubt put RTTS back on the map. 

“It is due to leave Bristol in the morning at 9am and we anticipate it will arrive on site shortly after 1pm.

"The closer it gets to site the bigger it will be.

"The route from Cornwall services to the RTTS site will be the best and busiest stretch.

“We are also really excited about the bespoke car shows on Saturday.

"Huge thanks to the Proper Cornish Cruisers and Back to 89 Volkswagens for their commitment here. 

"It's going to be great to party with everyone on the Saturday night.

"We've music on the Sunday too, but this is more to accompany the Show n Shine, whilst the cars take centre stage. 

“The Show n Shine, sponsored by VolksMagic is shaping up to be a really great mixed show with some amazing motors in there.

“The weather forecast is also looking great, which as we all know really makes a huge difference.”
