Portrush Cavalcade - 2026
We meet at Colemans Garden Centre at 10:30. During the static display breakfast will be provided from 11:00 . We hope this year to leave in three smaller cavalcades so as not to cause traffic conjestion. Final details will be confirmed on the morning.
This year is a bit special as it will be the 25th aniversary of the EAOVC Cavalcade so we are hoping for a good turn out of classic vehicles.. All proceeds this year will go locally to support the Larne and East Antrim MS Society. We hope to be able to spend more time in Portrush this year. As soon as fed and watered, the first group will leave Colemans and make its way to The West Strand Portrush for a static display. At 4:15 we will make our way to the Hedges Hotel for our usual meal and finishers awards at 4:45
Drive it Day
We start our day at Colemans Nursery Centre where we will have a short static display and tea or coffee. We then Drive to the Famine Centre in Swatragh where we will be shown around by a knowledgeable guide. The centre was the home of Dr Mooney and his wife Sarah. Together they ran a surgery in the mid 1800s. During The Great Hunger (An Gorta Mór) they established a private soup kitchen to aid the community. In collaboration with esteemed historians like Ciaran Reilly from Maynooth University and local experts the centre brings to life the Mooney’s unwavering commitment during one of Irelands most challenging periods. Developed by Dermot Friel, the centre was inspired by the discovery of an original famine pot in 1992 and a small window on the historic site during lockdown.
