Cliftonville Classic Car Show

June 14 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
£2
Classic cars, vintage motorcycles and motoring heritage, set across the lawns of The Oval Bandstand and Lawns

Ramsgate Old Motor and Motorcycle Club, in partnership with The Oval Bandstand & Lawns, are delighted to be bringing the much-loved Cliftonville Classic Car Show back to Margate.

This popular community event celebrates classic cars, vintage motorcycles and motoring heritage, set across the lawns of The Oval in a stunning seafront location. With a strong history and a loyal following, the show has long attracted enthusiasts, families and visitors alike, and we’re excited to see it return for two special dates in summer 2026.

 

This is a friendly reminder that you do not need a ticket to attend the Classic Car Show on the lawns. The vehicle displays are located on the lawns and are free for everyone to enjoy throughout the day.

If you would also like to attend the live music performances taking place inside the Bandstand from 1:00pm, admission is £2 per adult. This is the same entry fee as our regular Summer Sunday concert programme.

Tickets for the live music can be purchased on the gate on the day

 

Event dates:
Sunday 14 June 2026
Sunday 9 August 2026

 

If you’re interested in exhibiting a vehicle, please download an entry form from rommcc.org or contact the club directly at rommcc81@gmail.com

 

This has been a hugely popular event in the past, so let’s bring it back to the lawns in style and make it one to remember.

 

Tickets are NOT required for the car show on the lawns.
