Dorset Blind Association is celebrating a record fundraising total from its ninth annual Motor Show.
More than £37,000 was raised from the event held at Lulworth Castle last Sunday.
Over 6,000 visitors came through the gates to enjoy a display of vehicles, entertainment, local food and drink, and 50+ retail and charity stalls.
The show welcomed a record-breaking 280 vehicles, from vintage and classic models to luxury supercars, drawing motoring enthusiasts from across the South.
This year’s Platinum sponsors were Blue Sky Financial Planning and Supercar sponsors, Daizun.
Porsche Centre Bournemouth, also played a key role, partnering with Blue Sky to bring a line-up of Porsches to the display field.
Sam Baker, Event Organiser and Community Relations Officer at Dorset Blind Association, said: “We are absolutely blown away by the response to this year’s Motor Show.
“The atmosphere was electric, and the support we’ve had from volunteers, car owners, sponsors and the local community has been overwhelming.
“These funds will help us continue providing vital services to blind and partially sighted people across Dorset.”
Entertainment on the day included performances by Jitterbug Jive, the Just Sing Choir, The Land Girls, Miss Lisa Locarno, and the Bournemouth Carnival Band, alongside circus fun and children’s activities provided by Jamie Jigsaw.
The date for the tenth anniversary event in 2026 will be announced soon.
