A mix of supercars, police cars, classic cars, muscle cars and camper vans could be seen in Steyning and the surrounding areas on Sunday March 24 as part of Horsham’s District Showcase Tour.

Thousands turned out in the bright spring sunshine for the event which saw up to 40 special vehicles from five different Horsham town events form a travelling cavalcade stop off in Billingshurst, Pulborough, Storrington, Steyning and Henfield in turn. It also passed through three district villages.

Managed by Horsham District Council and building on the success of the Piazza Italia District Tours in 2016 and 2017, the tour presented the perfect opportunity for local businesses to open their doors and set out their stalls for the benefit of the many spectators who lined the routes and stopped off in local towns and villages to enjoy the spectacle.
