Why Stafford is still the biggest date in the classic bike calendar
Established in 1981, The International Classic MotorCycle Show has become one of the most important events in the world for classic and vintage motorcycles.
Each year, thousands of enthusiasts head to Staffordshire County Showground to experience:
- Hundreds of stunning classic machines on display
- More than 900 traders and autojumble stalls
- Club stands representing marques from across the globe
- Live demonstrations and the famous GP Paddock ‘firing-up’ area
From concours-condition show bikes to rare barn finds, it’s an event that captures every side of the classic motorcycling scene.
Meet legends of the sport
This year’s show features two giants of road racing as Guests of Honour:
John McGuinness MBE – 23-time Isle of Man TT winner and one of the most respected names in the sport
Dean Harrison – multiple TT winner and one of the fastest riders to ever lap the Mountain Course
Both will be meeting fans across the weekend, celebrating the heritage and thrill of motorcycle racing.
Live action, rare machines and unmissable attractions
Beyond the halls, Stafford delivers a full weekend of sights, sounds and experiences:
