Exhibitor Applications – Open NOW!

This year we have changed the aim of our event to make it as welcoming as possible to car and railway enthusiasts with all sorts of interests! 
 
Many classic car events have strict entry requirements, and we feel that it is important to open up the event to the wider car community. 
 
We are happy to invite any vehicles, from pre-war classics all the way up to the latest sports cars! 
 
Basically, if your car is interesting, unique, or special to you, please bring it along! 
  • Car entries for the event must be submitted by 10th July 2024.
  • Please complete one form per exhibit if you are bringing more than one.
  • Entry is free and a free ride on the railway will be included for attending.
  • We have limited places, we will close this form when we are full! 
  • Cars must arrive between 9 and 10am on the day of the event. 
  • We won’t stop you, but we would love for you to stay until the event closes at 17:00.
  • Cars must be safe, insured, and road registered.
  • We would politely request that you keep revving engines to an absolute minimum, but you are most welcome to show off those engine bays!
