The Essential Yorkshire Car Events Calendar for 2015

Posted on: 30/03/2015

Already the smell of spring is in the air and for anyone even slightly ‘petrolhead’, thoughts begin to turn to summer days and the sound of engines flexing their metaphorical muscles.

With Santa Pod, Goodwood and even Birmingham making attempts to dominate the car events map, you’d be forgiven for thinking all the fun happens outside the north, but fear not because here in Yorkshire we’ve got more than enough motor-themed events to rival our southern neighbours.

To prove our point, we’ve compiled a select smorgasbord of the best car events taking place around Yorkshire for you to stick in the diary before the onslaught of summer wedding invites arrives…

 

EYTCC Spring Gathering and Rally - May 17th

Sewerby Hall and Gardens, Bridlington YO15 1EA

With a plethora of vintage cars will be on display, you can meet the owners, get the stories behind the cars and snap a selfie with your favourite vehicles.

 

VSCC Harewood Speed Hillclimb  - June 6th

Stockton Farm, Leeds LS17 9NA

The historic Harewood Speed Hillclimb returns for another season this summer, with several events taking place every month until the end of September. If you’re fond of seeing old cars being put through their paces, don’t miss the Vintage Sports Car Club hillclimb on June 6th, and get there early to secure the best vantage point in the spectators’ paddock.

 

Brighouse 1940’s Weekend - June 6th

Commercial St. Brighouse, Yorkshire HD6 1AF

Roll time back a few eras at the Brighouse 1940’s weekend, where in amongst the old-time costumes, wartime songs and fairground rides you’ll see plenty of vintage and military vehicles from the decade. 

 

 

The Yorkshire Modified Car Show - June 14th

Pickering Showground, Malton Road, North Yorks YO18 8EA

The Yorkshire Modified Car Show is just a one-day event, but a good one if the last decade is anything to go by. In addition to the inside show car competition, the Top 20, there will be drifting demonstrations, a stunt show, driving obstacle courses, car club exhibitions and a trade village where you can pick up parts for your own ride.

 

Classics on Show Stokesley – June 20th

The Showfield, Stokesley, North Yorks TS9

With over 400 classic and vintage cars expected to be on show, from the 1930’s upwards, this is fast growing into a sizeable annual event.

 

 

Hebden Bridge Vintage Car Rally - August 1st-2nd

Calder Holmes Park, Hebden Bridge, West Yorks  HX7 8AD

Big with the family crowd, the Hebden Bridge Vintage Car Rally boasts an array of vintage cars up to 1939, post-war cars made between 1940-1973 and classics from 1972- 1994. Great for spotting your next fixer-upper, if that’s your kind of thing.

 

The VW Festival - August 14th-16th

Harewood House, Leeds LS17 9LG

Live entertainment, live music, a very-laid back vibe in the expansive grounds of Harewood House and more V-Dub’s than you can shake a stick at are all guaranteed at this famous Volkswagens-only festival. Make sure to bring your tent and camp over to enjoy the best of the whole weekend.
