Event Details
After the incredible energy of our first event at RAF Halton, Caffeine & Cars returns to the airfield where engines met heritage — and community took flight.
This time, “The First Sortie” marks the opening chapter of our 2026 season. A longer, richer day designed to give enthusiasts more time to explore, connect, and share their passion for both machines and moments.
Set against the backdrop of RAF Halton’s historic hangars, we’ll bring together an extraordinary mix of historical icons, modern supercars, and rare machines — each with a story to tell. Expect new partner displays that celebrate the craft behind cars and coffee alike, from precision engineering to the art of the perfect brew.
Much like the 90-second film that captured the spirit of Caffeine & Cars, this event is about connection — about people who see beauty not just in performance, but in the details. It’s where every conversation starts with horsepower but ends in friendship.
“The First Sortie” isn’t just another meet. It’s the first ignition of the year — where we gather once more to celebrate passion, purpose, and the sound of engines breaking the morning silence.
