This run originally retraced the route, along the now quiet country lanes, taken to deliver cheeses from Quenby Hall at Hungarton in Leicestershire, where it was produced, to the Bell Inn at Stilton in Cambridgeshire, where it gets it’s name. The original route of 39 miles taken to deliver the cheese was by horse drawn carriage stopping off to make deliveries of cheeses at the various villages and towns along the route and was one of the longest commercial carriage rides until internal combustion engined vans and lorries took over as the main mode of commercial road transport.

STILTON CHEESE CLASSIC CAR RUN – 26 April 2026
URGENT NEWSFLASH TO ALL DRIVERS
The organising team for the Stilton Cheese Classic Car Run has recently been informed that Cambridgeshire County Council will be undertaking major roadworks in Stilton Village at the time of our event.
As a consequence, we will be re-routing the event from Oundle to avoid the Village, and returning to New Lodge Farm, as per the enclosed map. Further maps will be available to all drivers on the day of the event.
As regular participants in the event will know, there is a Hog Roast and fully licensed bar available at lunchtime. Due to the revised route, the owners of New Lodge Farm have kindly offered to provide a BBQ for those returning to the venue after their Run, so there will plenty of opportunity for socialising and viewing the superb collection of vehicles.
The updated route is approximately 10 miles longer than previous events, and we hope that you will enjoy driving through some very pretty villages and pleasant countryside.
Drivers should also be aware that Adams & Sons and Car Iconics will be presenting prizes at the Farm during the afternoon.
We apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause you, but the disruption in Stilton Village would be such that parking would be really difficult in a one-way system managed by traffic lights.
Should you require accommodation for the Sunday evening, please contact the Falcon Hotel on 01572 823535, where the staff will be pleased to help you.
We look forward to welcoming you on 26 April.
