Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show 2026

If you only visit one classic car show all year, make it this one.

The Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show is the undisputed highlight of the UK’s classic motoring calendar — a spectacular end-of-season celebration that brings the entire hobby together under one roof. For three packed days, the NEC becomes a living, breathing museum of motoring history, filled with stories, people and cars that genuinely matter.

This isn’t just rows of parked cars. It’s about shared enthusiasm, forgotten details rediscovered, expert advice freely given, and that moment when you stumble across the car that made you fall in love with classics in the first place.

Why it’s unmissable

• Hundreds of beautifully presented classics, from everyday heroes to true rarities
• Car club stands celebrating anniversaries, restorations and real-world ownership
• An enormous trade hall packed with parts, tools, books, memorabilia and specialists
• Live stage interviews, talks and demonstrations throughout the weekend
• A brilliant chance to meet like-minded enthusiasts before the winter hibernation begins

Whether you’re deep into a restoration, researching your next project, or simply love soaking up the atmosphere, this is the show that delivers every single time.
