Take a step back in time as a popular event returns.

North Rode Revival returns on Saturday, June 13, with live music, classic cars, flight experiences and vintage fancy dress.

Promising to be the 'most spectacular year yet', the event help to raise money for East Cheshire Hospice and community projects in North Rode.

Organiser, Mike Gilman, said: "We're really looking forward to this year's North Rode Revival!

"It's a fantastic day out for the whole family and raises money for an incredible local charity.

"We've got a lot of great things planned, including three live music acts, a classic car show, a vintage costume competition, and a wide variety of activities.

"Where else can you take a microlight tour of the area and then relax with a picnic next to a pack of alpacas?"

Over the past five years North Rode Revival and its predecessor, the Alpaca Picnic Fest, has raised well over £10,000 for East Cheshire Hospice.

Held on land off Station Road (CW12 2PD), this year's event gets underway at 3pm.

Visitors can expect to see a large display of classic and competition cars as well as live music from the Charley Farley rock covers band, the Harmony Belles choir, and the Winding Roots Duo.

Flight experiences will be available on the day from Alpaca Airways, which will be offering up to 15-minute aerial tours for a £50 charity donation, in a light fixed or flex wing aircraft.

For those who'd like to enjoy the aerial excitement but prefer to keep their feet on the ground, a virtual experience will be live streaming flights.

Guests will be able to enjoy a wide variety of other attractions, including a tombola, traction engines, crazy golf, snakes and ladders, guess-the-sweets, and the much-loved resident alpacas.

A prize will also be up for grabs for the day's best dressed guest.

A BBQ and licensed bar will be providing food and drinks throughout the day and attendees are welcome to bring their own picnic, making it an affordable day out for the family.

Tickets can be purchased on the day, priced at £10 for adults and £5 for children over six, with all proceeds from the day donated to charity.

Meanwhile, entry for the classic and competition car show is free, regardless of the number of passengers. To qualify cars must be pre-1987 models or part of a car club that has been registered for the event.
