Hello from the Lavenham Classics (LC) team, we hope the year has got off to a good start for you all.
The Lavenham Classic motor show will be back this summer, so please add 30th August 2026 to your diary.
Lavenham Classics 2025
A huge thank you to those of you who joined us last August to exhibit or attend as a visitor.
The event attracted over 200 superb vehicles and was blessed with fair weather.
Car clubs included Alvis Owner Club, Essex Jaguar, 1066 and East Anglian Practical Classics.
The food and drinks went down well, and the entertainment,from Ronan Williams and JD The Soul Machine, wasuplifting.
From exhibitors, visitors and those paying for car parking, the event made £3,600 profit for the Lavenham Community Council, which helps fund local needs across the village.
We had a wide range of vehicles on display, proving that the event offers something for every one of all ages.
2025 was the first year we went digital, with tickets available via Eventbrite. We’d love to hear your feedback on how this worked for you. We did recognise some drawbacks on the day, but it certainly was a big help in managing the numbers attending and saved us money and time.
And it attracted people from as far afield as Exter and North-West England, although most exhibitors remain local to East Anglia, which is as it should be.
This year’s entry forms will be made available from April onwards, and we will most likely use Eventbrite again. Please watch out for the newsletter announcing that entries are open!
Watch out for more stories on our exhibitors and the fact that the car show is in its 3rd decade.
