Yes. This being our 25th Classic Show the theme is ‘Silver’

How other than with a ‘Silver’ theme could we celebrate our 25th show? We’ll have a magnificent display of exhibits: from colours to ghosts!
If your exhibit fits any of labels such as: Alloy, Chrome, Mercury, Mist, Misty, Old Silver, Quartz, Quicksilver, Roman Silver, Scythe, Shine, Titanium and of course plain Silver, we would like you to be part of that display.

You can register with your exhibit on-line here on this website.

If you want to register multiple cars you will need to repeat the process for each one so that a pass can be issued for each exhibit.

Our capacity for classic exhibits is limited to 700 vehicles (Cars and Bikes)

If the weather is good there will be between 5000 and 6000 people. The busiest period is from 13:00h – 15:30h.

No. The show has become very popular and in the last three years we have been at capacity with 700 exhibits. To manage the grounds and capacity appropriately, we require exhibits to be pre-registered.

We cannot and do not allow unregistered exhibits into the grounds.

We expect exhibits to stay in the show ground until at least 16:00h (subject to weather). This is the time we close entry to paying visitors. Thus we can ensure to some extent that there will be a decent display of classic vehicles to admire for those arriving later.
