Harrogate Car Enthusiasts Motor Show returns this weekend

Friday, 29 May 2026 07:23

The Harrogate Car Enthusiasts Motor Show and Family Fun Day is back.

Hundreds of vehicles and a range of family attractions are set to take over Harrogate Rugby Club this weekend as the Harrogate Car Enthusiasts Motor Show and Family Fun Day returns.

The event, organised by local enthusiast Barry Busby, will be held at Harrogate Rugby Club on Rudding Lane tomorrow (Saturday) from 10am-4pm.

The show is being held in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, with all proceeds and donations raised on the day going directly to the charity.

Visitors can expect between 300 and 400 exhibits, including classic and modern cars, buses, motorbikes, scooters, vans, tractors and campers.

Club stands and a range of auto jumble stalls will also be on site throughout the day.

Alongside the vehicle displays, organisers have planned a variety of family entertainment.

Attractions include bouncy castles, radio-controlled 4x4 cars, animal encounters provided by Harrogate Birds of Prey and Pets Centre, live music, a DJ, karaoke and a barbecue.

There will also be charity stalls, die-cast model and collectables traders, and the popular "Poo Bus" among the attractions.

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance's new vehicle is also expected to attend the event.

Entry is free for visitors and exhibitors, with organisers encouraging residents to come along and support the charity fundraiser.
