EVENT DATES FOR 2024….BOOK EARLY TO SAVE

We are excited to announce the Classic Shows schedule of events for 2024.

We will run a total of 21 days of events featuring our popular events at Weston Park, Three Counties Showground, Thoresby Park, Capesthorne Hall and Castle Howard.

There will also be a return to Thorp Perrow and Wentworth Woodhouse, both on new dates, and after a hugely successful first event under Classic Shows management, we will operate two, one day events at Stonor Park – the Spring Meeting in May and the Autumn Meeting in September.

Exhibitor tickets are now on sale for these events. Exhibitor tickets start from just £5.50 + booking fee (excludes Stonor Park – see www.stonorparkmeeting.com for further information) when booked before 31 March 2024 and provide admission for the display car, driver and up to one adult passenger. The price increases to £7.50 + booking fee when booked from 1 April 2024 up to the last Friday before event day. Exhibitor tickets can be booked online here or over the phone by calling 01484 667776.

Visitor tickets are also now on sale and offer a considerable discount when booked in advance of the event. We have also introduced a family ticket for all events which offers even greater savings.

We are working to finalise a brand-new event in Nottinghamshire, a new date at Cholmondeley Castle, a new date for Ragley Hall and the potential for a summer event at Weston Park.

The additional events will be announced shortly. The best way to keep up to date with any new events and news announcements is to join our email list, click here to sign up.

CAR & MOTORCYCLE EXHIBITORS

We offer a substantial discount to car owners who book in advance to display their car at Classic Shows events.  

Exhibitor tickets start at just £5.50+booking fee when booked by 31 March 2024 and provide admission for the display car, driver and one adult passenger. Exhibitor tickets increase to £7.50+booking fee from 1 April 2024 and can be purchased up to the last Friday before the event. Please note that these rules DO NOT apply to the events at Stonor Park, where separate exhibitor rules apply – see www.stonorparkmeeting.com for more information - or at Castle Howard, where the price is £10 per car up to the last Friday before the event.

The easiest method to secure your exhibitor ticket is to book online – click here to book. Alternatively, you can book over the phone by calling 01484 667776.

If you do not wish to book online or via the phone, you can book via a physical booking form. We will shortly be uploading booking forms to the website which will allow you to print and return a booking form to us via the post. Please note, we WILL NOT be sending a physical booking form out to previous exhibitors going forward and booking forms will only be sent by post upon request via phone or email at info@classicshows.org (or can be downloaded from the website over the coming weeks).

There is a limit of 400 advance exhibitor tickets per event day.

Please note that discounted exhibitor tickets WILL NO LONGER be available to purchase on event day. Subject to the availability of space, car owners who haven’t booked in advance will still be able to display their vehicle but will need to purchase a visitor ticket on arrival at the event and on a per person basis (i.e. one ticket required per person).

Motorcycle exhibitors DO NOT need to book a ticket in advance to display their motorcycle. Motorcycle exhibitors will be charged just £5 per motorcycle providing access for the driver and one passenger.

VISITOR TICKETS

The cheapest and most certain way to secure your access to any Classic Shows event is to purchase a visitor ticket online and in advance of the event. This can be done via the ticket booking page – click here.

Visitors can always purchase tickets on arrival at the event, but this is at a higher price than when purchased in advance.

New for 2024, we are offering a family ticket for two adults and up to three children and this offers a further saving to the advance and on-the-day ticket prices.

1,000+ EVENTS OVER 30+ YEARS

Classic Shows is a long-standing organiser and operator of classic vehicle events having organised over 1,000 events since its inception in 1985.

Since this time Classic Shows has operated events from most of the UKs major indoor venues including Alexandra Palace, GMEX, NEC and Event City and a large number of prestigious country homes locations such as Blenheim Palace, Harewood House, Clumber Park, Capesthorne Hall, Bodelwyddan Castle and Cholmondeley Castle.

We like to try and keep things simple and our philosophy focusses on three core strands:

This approach has helped Classic Shows to become firmly established as the longest running independent operator of classic vehicle events in the UK.

In the winter months the business operates a number of classic car and motorbike autojumbles and motorbike events at Three Counties Showground, Malvern. This recently refurbished facility provides considerable indoor and outdoor accommodation and offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire hard-to-find parts, supplies, memorabilia and mingle with likeminded vehicle enthusiasts.

During the summer, the events grow in scale and change theme to that of classic car and motorbike shows. These events all include considerable autojumble and retail opportunities but also involve displays of 300 – 1,000+ classic vehicles, experienced concours judging, commentary and awards ceremonies throughout the event all set within the backdrop of a superb country home location.

A GREAT DAY OUT FOR ALL THE FAMILY

Classic Shows events offer a fantastic day out for all of the family and not just car enthusiasts!

The events are held at some of the finest country homes in the UK and provide an impressive backdrop to a display of rare and interesting classic vehicles. Many venues allow tours of the country house, grounds and / or also include children’s play facilities in addition to unique shops, food offerings and the retail of local produce.

We hope to continue to add further, relevant new content in 2020 to ensure the events continue to appeal to the whole family.

So whether it’s learning more about the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and the location for filming the James Bond film Skyfall at Blenheim Palace, experiencing one of only ten Treasure Houses of England at Castle Howard, or taking in the Neoclassical and Jacobean designs of Capesthorne Hall; there is much more to a Classic Shows event than may meet the eye!
