Classics on Show | Organised Stokesley & Middlesbrough Erimus Rotary Clubs

From the first show

Classics on Show started in 2012, run by the Rotary Club of Stokesley. That first year, 150 vehicles and about 450 visitors came to Stokesley Showfield.

The show grew in exhibitors, visitors and money raised in almost every year after that. Heavy rain in 2015 kept people away, and the 2020 show was cancelled during the pandemic.

By the 10th anniversary in 2022 the day had become much larger. In 2023 more than 1,000 classic vehicles were on the field, and about 4,500 people came.

Visitors walk the rows of cars, bikes, buses and tractors. Club stands, food and craft stalls, children’s entertainment and live music fill out the day.

The 15th show, in 2026, was the first organised jointly by Stokesley Rotary and Middlesbrough Erimus Rotary. More than 700 vehicles were on display and over 3,000 people came through the gate.
