The Mini fun starts with a fun run from Bushmills Distillery Car Park to Portstewart on Saturday night.

Then on Sunday, the green at Dunluce becomes a sea of Minis as drivers congregate from 10.00am.

Onlookers can view the cars, chat to the owners and have a browse around the many stalls and stands.

The show features over seventeen classes of cars both classic and new-style minis.

Prizes have been donated by JKC Mini Coleraine for the best in each category.

The Minis will depart the site in their usual style at 4.00pm and follow a route through the town with the classic minis actually crossing the bridge at Portrush Harbour, before making their way along Main Street.

And there’s a pit stop along the way - sponsor Morelli’s will be giving out free ice cream to the driver and the occupants of the each of the cars in the cavalcade.
