Bucket Scene: Vintage, Vogue & Velocity 2026

Yesterday we attended the media launch of Vintage, Vogue & Velocity, an event that is redefining what a traditional classic car show can be. Rather than simply showcasing beautifully preserved automobiles, the event seamlessly blends classic motoring with fashion, beauty, music and lifestyle, creating an experience that appeals to enthusiasts and families alike.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Camp Orchards in Hillcrest, the venue provides the perfect setting for this unique celebration. With its sprawling gardens, open spaces and relaxed atmosphere, Camp Orchards complements the elegant aesthetic of the event, making it as much about the experience as it is about the attractions on display.

Taking place on 30 August 2026, Vintage, Vogue & Velocity promises a fun-filled day with something for everyone. Motoring enthusiasts can admire an impressive collection of classic and vintage vehicles, each with its own story and timeless appeal. Fashion lovers will be treated to stunning displays of exquisite garments as models showcase a range of elegant and contemporary designs throughout the day, while live music adds to the vibrant atmosphere.

Adding a touch of sophistication to the occasion, the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra will captivate attendees with a selection of beautiful melodies, creating a truly unique ambience that perfectly complements the elegance of the classic cars and fashion displays. It's not every day that visitors can experience the harmonious blend of orchestral music, timeless motoring and high fashion in such a picturesque setting.

The event has also been designed with families in mind. Visitors can enjoy the on-site café, or opt for a leisurely afternoon by purchasing one of the available picnic baskets and relaxing on the beautiful grounds while taking in the sights and sounds around them.

Whether you're passionate about classic cars, have an appreciation for fashion and beauty, or are simply looking for a memorable day out with family and friends, Vintage, Vogue & Velocity promises to deliver a unique lifestyle experience that brings together style, heritage and entertainment in one unforgettable event.

More details on tickets will be made available soon, stay tuned to their social media channels for more and a chance to win a picnic basket for the day!
