Durham Classic Car Show, Durham (2026)

26/05/2026

Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in exhibiting their vehicles at this year's Classic Car Show on 31st August in Durham city centre. 🚗

We've been inundated with requests! So much so that we have had to close the Expressions of Interest form a few days earlier than advertised, as there are so many to go through.

We will review the applications over the next few weeks and get in touch with you if you are successful. We provide an update once we have contacted those who have been selected, so you know the selection process is finished.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE! ⚠️

It has come to our attention that there are scammers at work, making out that they are involved with the Durham Classic Car Show and asking people to get in touch with them about various opportunities at the event. 😡

Please do not contact anyone but ourselves, and if anyone gets in touch with you who doesn't have either an official Durham Classic Car Show or Durham Markets email address, claiming to be able to offer you trading opportunities, please just ignore and delete/block them.

Unfortunately, due to the space restrictions, we will not have the space for any traders (other than the cars that have registered and been approved to exhibit) at this event.
