PETROLHEADS can gear themselves up for two car shows which come to Times Territory for the first time this month.

Knebworth Park will play host to the back-to-back motor events over the bank holiday weekend.

The Ford and Japanese Auto and Performance Car Show will kick things off at the stately home venue on Sunday.

Yet if car enthusiasts haven’t had their fix, Bank Holiday Monday is packed full with Volksfest and the Knebworth Mini Show.

Classic, modified and performance VWs and Minis will be on show throughout the day.

All of the shows will feature club displays, concours, car manufacturer jumbles and trade stands.

Away from the cars, there is a wide range of activities for children with the adventure playground and the Wildness Garden, home to 72 life-size dinosaurs.

Admittance to either show is included in the �8 entrance fee to Knebworth Park and Gardens.

A family ticket is �28 while under-fours go free. Parking on site is free.
