What is SWFD?
Somersham Wheelie Fun Day (or SWFD) was set up in 2017 to raise funds for the upkeep and maintenance of the public facilities in Somersham village: the playing field, football pitch, pavilion and all other facilities, used by not just residents of Somersham but from a number of other villages in the area. The event itself is a mix of a free vehicle show, a family day out and a live music concert, with performances from some of Suffolk’s best artists (Jax and Co, Three Chordettes & Andrew Heasman to name a few).
Over the years, the vehicle show aspect has grown in size massively, with a much more diverse range of cars and bikes on display, including modified, classic, retro, vintage and performance cars. Plus a large selection of motorbikes, tractors, military vehicles and more. In addition to all this, we host a wide variety of stalls and food vendors, ranging from arts & crafts to local motoring-related retailers.

SHOW US WHAT YOU’VE GOT!
For 2025, we really want to level up the car show side of things, so we’re introducing some exciting updates new to SWFD we’re hoping will make the show appeal to more and more car owners from Suffolk & the surrounding areas, including:
- Awards & Trophies
- Vehicle display area divided into categories:
- Classic
- Retro
- Performance / Modified
- Bikes
- Club Stands area
- Make some noise! We’re allowed to rev engines all day long!
- A range of local vehicle-related vendors (detailers, mechanics, mods & more)
Vehicle vendors
If you think your company would be a good fit for our event, we’d love to hear from you! Hundreds of people visit SWFD every year, with high footfall as fellow car & bike enthusiasts make their way around the event throughout the day. We’d love to see you have a pitch at this year’s event to promote your business or even sell your products & services. Even if you don’t make a sale on the day, it’s a great way to get your name in front of people.
If you are able to join us, we can offer you the following:
- Your own pitch in a new, dedicated vehicle stall area
- Promotion of your company name & logo on our Facebook page, as well as other online promotional material
- Listing on the stall-holder pamphlet on the day
- Pitch size can be negotiated – you need more space? Just let us know!
- Option to sponsor the event via banner spaces, kegs of beer, day programme ad-spots and more)
The event is promoted in most local publications as well as online forums and social media pages for vehicle enthusiasts, as well as to people who are more interested in their music and craft beer (something else we are proud of at SWFD) which can always lead to additional sales.
