Classics on Show 2026 will go down as one of the most memorable in the event’s history, as we celebrated our 15th anniversary in glorious sunshine with record entries and a fantastic atmosphere from start to finish.

By the time the gates closed on Saturday evening, June20, 2026, it was clear that this had been our biggest and most successful show yet. Around 700 vehicles were on display– the highest number ever seen at Classics on Show – and we welcomed more than 3,000 visitors for a day full of classic motoring, entertainment and community spirit.

From much-loved classic cars and vintage commercial vehicles to motorcycles, campervans and scooters, there was something to catch the eye at every turn. This year also saw the debut of our brand-new Scooter Square, which brought together a display of Vespas and Lambrettas which we intend to build on.

The entertainment came from Bilsdale Silver Band and Crash Bang Wallop helping to create a lively, celebratory feel throughout the day. Whether visitors came for the vehicles, the autojumble stalls, the music or the chance to enjoy a great family day out in the sunshine, there was a real sense that everyone was enjoying being part of something special.

Of course, Classics on Show relies on the enthusiasm of exhibitors, the support of visitors and the hard work of a huge team of volunteers and supporters behind the scenes. We are enormously grateful to everyone who played a part in making this year’s event such a success.

We would also like to thank the many people who helped make the 2026 show such a landmark occasion – from those who brought along vehicles and displays, to those who gave their time before, during and after the event to ensure everything ran smoothly. The warm, friendly atmosphere that people value so much about Classics on Show is created by the people who support it, and this year that spirit was evident everywhere.

This year’s event was especially significant because it was the first to be jointly organised by the Rotary Club of Stokesley and Erimus Rotary of Middlesbrough. The partnership worked extremely well and gives us great confidence as we look to the future of Classics on Show.

Most importantly of all, the success of the show means we can continue to support a range of local and Rotary-backed charities. Profits from this year’s event will go to good causes including Maggie’s, Blood Bikes and Cleveland Heart Centre, ensuring that the impact of Classics on Show extends far beyond the Showfield itself.

So yes – didn’t we do well?

Thank you to everyone who came along, took part, volunteered, performed, supported and helped make Classics on Show 2026 such a tremendous success. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Stokesley Showfield on Saturday, June 19, 2027.
