 Lions on the Green 2025
will take place on Sunday 8th June 2025

Lions on the Green hosted by Devizes Lions Club (CIO) returns to the Large Green in Devizes on Sunday 08 June 2025. Last year we raised nearly £6,500 and the event was attended and enjoyed by hundreds of people.

Entry to the Green is free to all visitors and families arriving on foot but donations to to Devizes Lions Club (CIO) (Charity No: 1185977) will always be glady appreciated.

The event will open to the public at 10:00am and will close at 4:00pm.

Devizes Lions invite owners of historic vehicles over 30 years old, classic and historic cars, bikes, scooters, historic commercial and military vehicles along with owners of more modern Supercars to exhibit tlike Ferraris, McLarens, Bugattis and so on to come along and display their much loved and cherished vehicles on Devizes Green for people to admire and enjoy.

If you’ve got a vehicle you’re proud of, we’d love to have you display it!

Entry is completely free for vehicle exhibitors this year.  We only ask that you register in advance so that we can plan the space accordingly.

The only way to register your vehicle is via TicketSource by using the following link:

Register a space for your vehicle here: Vehicle booking

It has come to our attention that an unscrupulous person has commented on several of our Lions on the Green Facebook posts, encouraging people to contact him to book their cars in.  Please ignore this. We repeat that the only way to register your vehicle and secure a space is via this TicketSource link:  Vehicle booking

STALL HOLDERS

We are inviting Stall Holders - crafts, clothings, cakes and bakes, toys etc (but no food stalls, ice cream or drink stands)  to apply for a pitch.  

You can book your pitch here: Stall booking

For those with other interests, this is a family day out, and in addition to the vehicles on show, there will be craft stalls selling artisan products, pop up charity shops, a beer tent, food and drink vendors and ice cream van, a skittles competition as well as activities for children such as fairground rides, face painting and an animal petting area.

All net proceeds will go to Devizes Lions Club (CIO)'s charity fund (Registered Charity No: 1185977), which provides support for needy families, children's clubs, elderly, disabled and disadvantaged people in our community, our famous Sports Coaching weekend and many, many other groups and individuals who just need a helping hand.

CLASSIC RIDES - THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE CLASSIC CAR RIDES

Jan Holmes posted this on Facebook: "My 88yr old Dad had a big surprise when he was gifted a ride in this car."

For a donation to Devizes Lions Club’s Charity Account of £10 per trip, you can go out in one of the classic cars displayed on the day, over a pre-determined route of  about 10 - 15 minutes with the owner driving you in his or her pride and joy.

From the passenger seat, you will experience the fun and involvement required to drive one of these cherished cars, ask the owner all about the vehicle, see how much it means to them and see the grins and waves from members of the public as you drive by.

This was my ťhrill! I was taken out for a fast drive in this 66 Mustang on Sunday afternoon. There were quite a few classic car owners who were taking people out for a drive to raise funds for the Lions charity. In honour of Wilson Pickett and a song named after me, I had to choose the Mustang!"

A great big THANK YOU to everyone who attended and supported this year's Lions on the Green whether as an exhibitor, stall-holder or simply enjoying the event.  

Your generosity will enable Devizes Lions to continue to provide support to where it is needed in our community and beyond.

There were lots of lovely classic cars, stalls and things for the children to enjoy. 

The weather didn’t dampen our spirits and we hope it didn’t dampen yours. We hope you enjoyed the day and what's more Devizes Lions raised around £4,700, which will all be used to support our charitable work.

We think it was a great success and we hope you did too!

Hello everyone,
Following last June’s successful first Lions on the Green, we are moving up a gear to enjoy another one,  building on the strengths of the last one, and above all, enjoying our classic cars whilst raising much-needed money for carefully vetted local charities and good causes.

You all took part last year, and with the same pricing structure we hope to see you again on June 12th 2022.  We are also intending to increase the number of artisan stalls, children’s activities and food offerings to make this a family friendly event.

We also want to show off more beauties, so, if amongst your classic car friends you have contacts who would be interested, ask them to contact me by email at lionsonthegreen@devizeslions.org.uk or via The Devizes Lions website.

Last time, we had over 100 cars, and we would like to increase that number to fill the space on Devizes Green with lots of lovely classic and historic cars and other vehicles. We hope to have a lot more owners happy to take part in the Passenger Experience enabling you and your colleagues to show members of the public what it is like to ride in a car from an earlier era. The more people who are aware of our heritage, the more likely it is that our hobby will survive into the future.

To express an interest and, for the car clubs, give an indication of the numbers you expect to attract, please contact me by the methods shown above. I’ll then send you an Application Form and the pricing structure.
