23rd Leighton Hall Classic & Performance Motor Show

Surely the best way to kick the forthcoming summer holidays into glorious gear, is roaring along to one of the most beautifully staged shows in the classic car calendar, at Carnforth’s Leighton Hall, home to the legendary Gillow furniture making family.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Lake District fells, over 500 classic cars, motorcycles, vans, 4x4s and military vehicles will be roaring through the glorious park for the 23rd Leighton Hall Classic & Performance Motor Show.

With decades of experience under their cam-belt, hosts Great British Motor Shows are bringing delighted audiences nose-to-bonnet with a multitude of magnificent motors, including classic car displays from Lancashire Morris Minor Club, Wolseley Register, Lakeland Historic Car Club, Jaguar Enthusiasts, and many more.  After chatting and selfies with fellow owners, enthusiasts and experts, sit back, relax and enjoy arena parades, displays and expert commentary, with the famous auto jumble and masses of tempting trade stands to tempt the tinkerer in the team.

Enjoy a fun packed day out for the whole family, with Leighton’s glorious gardens, children’s playground, tree face trail and caterpillar maze included in show admission.  Fascinating tours of the historic hall run from 13:00 for a small additional fee, and there’s acres of parkland for well-behaved family Rovers to explore on-lead.

Brand new for 2022 is a prize treasure hunt, free for all attending kids, to spot vehicle badges, logos and quirky details across the show.  Perfect for a vintage pit stop and refuel, the charming tearoom is this year being complimented by artisan street food specialist Feast Street, including woodfired pizza, handmade waffles, burgers and full-throttle coffee.
