About the experience
This is one Classic Car Road Trip offering retro delights in more ways than one! This fantastic road trip experience will be ideal for those who love watching the Antiques Road Trip series that airs on daytime TV, where two antiques experts trawl the country's antiques shops in all manner of vintage and classic cars, whilst looking for unusual or potentially valuable antiques to sell at auction. There's a whole host of cars that are available to hire for your chosen day, and upon arrival at your starting point in the town of Long Stratton near Norwich, you'll be supplied with a carefully curated map, highlighting the antiques centres and shops along your route that takes you through the glorious Norfolk countryside. It's amazing what treasures you can discover whilst trawling and rummaging through an antiques shop or emporium. Who knows what you might find - it might even be a sought after collectable or rare artefact! If you like, you can even see if you've got an eye to beat the experts and take part in the optional antiques challenge. The road trip organiser will supply you with the funds to buy an article, which will then be auctioned off online, with profits going to charity. It's a great way to add another element of fun to this experience. If you're after an unusual day out to enjoy with a friend, family member or loved one, this antiques road trip adventure could tick all the boxes.
