CLASSIC cars, motorcycles, Christmas magic and a whole lot of community spirit will come together at The Orchard Penrith on Saturday, December 5, for a special event honouring a much-loved local volunteer.

The Terry Reilly Memorial Christmas Car & Bike Show will bring families and car enthusiasts together for a fun-filled day celebrating the life and legacy of Terry Reilly, remembered for his generosity and his much-loved role as a volunteer Santa.

Running from 10am to 3pm, the event will feature an impressive display of classic cars and motorcycles, free family activities, Christmas entertainment, market stalls, food and plenty of festive fun.

Children will have the chance to meet Santa and Mrs Claus, enjoy Christmas activities and be entertained by Magic May, whose children’s magic performance is scheduled for approximately 10.30am to 11am.

Dance groups, local performers and Vintage FM will also help bring the day to life, with plenty of entertainment to get December off to a festive start.

Visitors can enjoy great food from The Orchard, browse market stalls, take family photos and catch up with friends while soaking up the Christmas atmosphere.

But behind the festivities is a much bigger purpose.

Organised by Terry Reilly Legacy Incorporated, the event aims to continue Terry’s spirit of giving by collecting new, unwrapped toys for children aged from birth to 17 years and raising funds for two important local causes, the Nepean Hospital Children’s Ward and Penrith Community Kitchen.

Organisers are encouraging everyone attending to bring along a toy donation, helping spread some Christmas happiness to local children and families who may otherwise go without.

There will also be fundraising raffles, with all support helping make a difference in the local community.

Classic car and motorcycle owners are also invited to be part of the display, with vehicle entry by registration only. Owners are encouraged to register in advance by emailing the event organisers.

Whether you are passionate about classic vehicles, looking for a great family day out or simply want to support two worthwhile local organisations, there will be plenty of reasons to get involved.

The Terry Reilly Memorial Christmas Car & Bike Show promises to be more than just a celebration of Christmas. It is an opportunity to honour a much-loved volunteer, bring the community together and continue a legacy of kindness and generosity.
