No Departure prior to 4.30 pm unless imperative and also guided by a Marshall. 

No Barbeque or other naked flame cooking apparatus is permitted on the event field.

Entries will close when the maximum number is reached, this can be several weeks before the event. 

Classics arriving without an Entry Number must pay the public fee of £7.50 per person and enter via the public gate.

Please note all entries are taken on the understanding that in the unlikely event that the show does NOT take place (e.g. very poor weather) the Organisers reserve the right to cancel without refund for entries take.  Any surplus will be donated to our charities.

Changes to the 2024 show

This year we intend to simplify the show, inviting younger vehicles to ensure we have as wide an age group of vehicles as possible.  This is a Classic vehicle show, so we are unable to accept vehicles younger than 20 years old.   If you have a specific vehicle of interest and it is younger than 20 years old and want the committee to consider entry please contact CLASSICSOVERSANDS.org@gmail.com

Given our costs in running the show, increases in insurance and facilities, we have been forced, after many years, to increase our entry fees for both entries and visitors.  However, we still offer free parking and free entry for children, which does provide astonishing value for families visiting the show.

As usual cars and motorcycles will have their own display areas.  This year 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.

There are four classes:

  1. Cars and light commercials up to 1959
  2. Cars and light commercials 1960-1979
  3. Cars and light commercials 1980-2004
  4. Motorcycles

Protection (GDPR)

The organisers maintain a database of entrant’s personal contact details in order to administer the event.  Our Data Protection Policy can be downloaded here.

Entry Numbers

When you complete your entry for “Classics over sands” and pay the fee (£7 for car and up to 2 passengers), you will receive an email with a receipt number.  It is important that you keep this email and number as it is your entry to the show.  When you arrive at the event you will be required to show the event Marshalls this email.  Once parked, you should go to the Pavilion and register your car for the show, we will then give you an entry number to display on your vehicle.

Please do not leave the Show Early

We understand that there are many reasons why an entrant may wish to leave early. However, please be aware that the event is advertised as finishing at 4.30pm. Visitors will be disappointed if exhibits leave before then. We hope that all of our entrants will enjoy their day at the Show and honour our obligation to our visitors by remaining on the show-field.

Moving vehicles

Our visitors, including young children and the elderly, are not expecting vehicles to be moving about. The organisers take responsibility for the safety of our visitors at all times, and the support of all entrants is vital in this matter.  Before moving your vehicle for whatever reason prior to 4.30pm you must seek the assistance of a marshal.

Can I park with my friend?

 Space is limited and the marshals are responsible for ensuring there is sufficient space for everyone. Please do not ask them to reserve a space next to you for your friend who has not arrived yet. If you want to park together and are in the same class, please meet up off site and arrive together.

Visitors in Classics

Classic Vehicles arriving without receipt number and email are welcome but will be charged the normal fee applicable to members of the public arriving as spectators.   Do make yourselves known at the Pavilion and we will then be able to add you to our mailing list.
