Once again, Grange’s very own Classic Car Show takes place this year on Sunday 9th August, with an amazing assortment of classics from the 1920’s right up to 2001. With over 80% of entries already subscribed, it looks as though it will be another full show. So if you’ve still to enter, get your skates on, as we expect entries to be full well before August.
This year we’ve new attractions and stallholders, with some very special children’s entertainment, in fact something for everyone.
An amazing 159 cars have entered for Classics over sands since we opened 10 days ago. So with 300 spaces, we are “officially” already over half full. Big thank you to Classic car owners for supporting the show once again.
Classics over Sands is to be held on Sunday 9th August 2026 on our usual venue overlooking Morecambe Bay in beautiful Grange over Sands. We had a record entry of vehicles in 2025, with the field at capacity. Once again, we have capped the age of the youngest vehicles at 25 years old, Last year we were able to make donations totalling over £10,000 to Alzheimers UK, local charity Growing Well alongside the Cumbria Wildlife Trust & our local Scout Group.
None of this would have been possible without yourselves, the entrants, and your great classics – thank you.
Once again we are accepting entries made via our website only.
To Enter, please…
Two e-mails will then be sent to you:
On Arrival at the Show…
If you are unable to use the internet, please ask a friend to fill in your entry for you.
As usual cars and motorcycles will have their own display areas. All cars will be parked-up in order of arrival rather than by class. This simplifies the field layout and reduces the number of marshals needed. If you want to park next to your friends – all drive in together and you will be parked together irrespective of Class.
Classics over Sands is on Sunday 9th August, please put this date in your Diary NOW!
Classics over Sands is run entirely by volunteers on a not-for-profit basis.

So bring your favourite Teddy and give him/her a thrilling ride on our amazing zip wire!
We now have a full field, so will be taking no further entries. A big thank you to all those who have entered and are supporting the event.
Once again we’ll be having “Out of the Blue” with Debora Field (AKA the Hoop Lady), seen here performing on the Ariel Hoop. Debora has been a real hit at our last few shows, encouraging visitors onto the hoop, to display the talents to the crowds.
With 300 entries and counting, we have a wonderful array of cars from the dawn of motoring till 2000. Whether you love American cars, such as the Chevy Bel Air or the amazing Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, to European ’90s sports cars like the Fiat X19 or Mercedes Pagoda, there really is something for everyone. We’ve lots of British sports cars, MGB’s Austin Healey’s and Triumphs, as well as some of the more rare marks, such a Rileys, Morgans and the Reliant Scimitar.
