Classic cars will roar into town today

Car fans should head along to Paisley town centre today for CarFest revving back in to town.

St Vincent’s Hospice is bringing back its popular event to Paisley town centre with muscle cars, supercars and emergency vehicles on show at spots around the town.

As well as treats for motor enthusiasts, there will be lots of family-friendly fun with fairground rides, children’s entertainment, live music, staffs, tombola and a prize raffle.

This is the fifth year of St Vincent’s CarFest and its second visit to Paisley town centre.

All the money raised on the day will support the hospice in Howwood.

Kate Lennon, chief executive of St Vincent’s Hospice, said:“CarFest is one of the absolute highlights of our calendar, and we are always absolutely blown away by the amount of work and passion that people put in to making it happen.”

The event is organised by MaxSafe and sponsored by Paisley First.

Paisley First chairman Graeme McGowan said:“We’re thrilled to be supporting the Hospice and the CarFest team in bringing this great event to Paisley town centre for a second year.

“The sun shone last year and we’re hoping for the same again.”

The cars will be on show at locations including Abbey Close, County Square, the Cenotaph, High Street and Johnston Street from 10am until 4pm.
