Displays included classics, race and rally cars as well as supercars which took the prime spot in a paddock in front of the castle.

There were more than 600 cars on display, many of which are owned by people living in Lincolnshire.

Keeping people entertained throughout the day were monster truck rides, a singing princess, food stalls and live music.

Visitors also got free access inside the castle, its grounds and the adventure play area.

The event relocated from Baston village to the bigger venue of the castle in 2019.
