Time To Rev Up Again

Maxey’s Classic Car and Bike Show is being held on Saturday 19th August at its new venue. One of the most popular regional shows, the long-established Maxey event is sure to attract a large entry of gleaming two and fourwheelers. It’s also a great day out - with live music, a real-ale bar, pizzas and BBQ. Admission is just £5 with free entry for exhibitors and children under 14.

“It was difficult to move the Car Show from Maxey to Willowbrook Farm last year after such a long time, but with the extremely hazardous dry weather conditions and the growing popularity causing access issues to the show, it made the decision easier for us to make in the end” said Matt Thompson, Chairman of the organisers.

The show opens at 11am, with judging taking place between 12.30 pm and 3.00pm. As usual, the organisers have recruited several national motoring journalists to help with the difficult job of picking the winners.

It’s organised by the Maxey Charity Club and raises money for local and regional good causes. The club has been running fundraising events since 1998.

The Maxey Car Show started in 2001 with a 100 vehicle turn-out.

It has become increasingly well-known over the years and last year attracted over 500 vehicles. These included a wide range of classics, exotics like modern Ferraris, kit cars and a 4x4 category. We also have a class for classic motorcycles and this category proves more popular each year. Our motto is: ‘If you drive it or ride it and you love it – come along and show it’.

There is no need to book your vehicle in, just turn up on the day. We just ask you to arrive between 8.30am and 10.30am before the gates open to the public.
