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!
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.

We look forward to seeing everyone on 10th August.
A big thank you to all our entrants over the years for supporting Classics over Sands, we will be open for entries from late March. Following feedback from entrants after last year’s show, we’ll be making a few changes. Our recent events have seen modern classics as well as truly historic vehicles enter the show. For 2025 we have implemented a 25 year rule on entries, so will accept vehicles up to and including those registered in 2000. We’ll also be looking at catering options and field layout.
Given the increasing costs of running the show, particularly insurance, licenses etc, we are increasing the entrance fee for cars registering to £7.50, which includes, car, driver and one passenger. Entrants also receive our colour brochure, with up to date list of cars entered.
We will be open for entries from LATE MARCH, If you are registered on our mailing list, we will let you know the exact date entries will open.
Derek Seward, our Chairman. presented a cheque for £3500 to Coniston Mountain rescue last week. We also presented a cheque to Coeliac UK for a similar amount, this is alongside donations to our local Scout Group and Cumbrian Wildlife Trust.
Huge thank you to all our supporters, volunteers & entrants for making the show such a success.
