This year’s Star Insure Howick Village HOP promises something for everyone – a show-stopping display of hot rods and classic cars, live rock and roll music, street entertainment, trade stalls, local art, delicious food vendors, and of course, our iconic Saturday village market.
We’re proud to have the continued support of Star Insure and Mother’s Polishes, and thrilled to unveil some exciting new additions for 2025 – including the spectacular Smokey and the Bandit Kenworth rig, vintage caravans, and even a vintage boat on display!
So dust off your leather jackets, swing into your retro best, and head to Howick for a day filled with nostalgia, horsepower, and good old-fashioned fun.

This chiffonier has been in the family for over 50 years.
While I'm unsure of the type of wood, it remains in reasonably good condition given its age.
The key for the cabinet doors is currently misplaced, but I’ll do my best to locate it before collection.

While I'm unsure of the type of wood, it remains in reasonably good condition given its age.
The key for the cabinet doors is currently misplaced, but I’ll do my best to locate it before collection.
With a light sand and a coat of varnish, it has great potential to be restored to its former charm.

Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?
Recent work out of a MIT Media Lab suggests that people who used ChatGPT have lower brain engagement than those who did not when writing their essays. While the MIT Media Lab work has driven headlines recently, others have been quick to remind us that the fear of technology is nothing new.
We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?
