This Sunday, August 25, petrolheads and families alike are invited to Ballee Playing Fields for the much-anticipated return of Motorfest NI, an event that promises to be the highlight of the summer for car enthusiasts.


From 11:00am, attendees can expect a spectacle of automotive excellence, all in support of a worthy cause: raising funds for Northern Ireland’s Community Rescue Service (CRS).



The event will showcase an array of vehicles from supercars to vintage tractors, with special appearances from clubs like the Ford ST Owners Club (NI), who are set to impress with their collection of high-performance vehicles.
