The stunning scale of record-breaking Lytham Car Show as it fills most of town's Green
“The event just gets bigger with more families and people of all ages turning out to enjoy it”
This was the incredible scene as hundreds of vehicles and thousands of visitors flocked to enjoy this year’s Lytham Car Show.
These aerial pictures by Gregg Wolstenholme Photography dramatically show the scale of the event, which was by far the biggest it was first held eight years ago.
The vehicles stretched from the car park opposite Dicconson Terrace all the way to the slipway opposite Seafield Road and visitor numbers were estimated to be at least 10,000.
All manner of cars and vintages were on show in perfect conditions and as in previous years, the event was a fund-raiser for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation, which supports world-class cancer treatment throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria.

Sue Swire, fundraising manager for Rosemere Cancer Foundation, was thrilled at he success of the show.
She said: “What a brilliant day. We have been lucky enough to have been involved since the first show and every year, the event just gets bigger with more families and people of all ages turning out to enjoy it.
“People began arriving at 8.30am and were still turning up at 4pm. The show has become a real spectacle.
“We are so grateful to be the show’s charity partner. Since its launch in 2018, it has raised a staggering £120,000 for Rosemere Cancer Foundation projects and that is without this year’s donation, which is currently being calculated.

“Our thanks and gratitude to everyone involved in the show’s organisation, who work tremendously hard to make it the great event it is, and to everyone who came along.
“We are also so grateful to the event sponsors for their support and to all our volunteers, including local police cadets and scouts, who gave up their Sunday to help out as car park marshals and way finders among other roles.”
Last year’s Lytham Car Show raised a record £34,000 for Rosemere as it attracted in excess of 6,000 visitors.
That amount raised was £10,000 up on the year before, with 200 extra vehicles on show and an influx of more than 1,000 extra people on The Green compared to 2024.
