One of motorcycling’s great sporting rivalries will be felt again this October when the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show sponsored by Carroll Nash will be bigger and better than ever, and you can be there to interact with the stars of the show.
The event, taking place at the Stafford County Showground on 10-11 October, is one of the UK’s largest celebrations of classic motorcycling.
As always, you’ll find the country’s largest gathering of classic machines, clubs and traders, as well as crowd favorites such as fire-fighting, trial demonstrations and the famous Wall of Death.

But the star guest on the show will choose a bigger rivalry. For some, 1996 was the year of Britpop, ‘It’s coming home’ slogans, Gaza’s dentist chair and football… it was also the year of Dolly the cloned sheep.
But it was also the first BSB Championship, and the two men who drove it to the wire and that memorable last race at Donington will be on the podium at the weekend, when Jamie Whittham and Niall McKenzie reunite and join a selection of championship-winning machines from the last three decades.
But as always, there’s more. The Main Arena schedule is packed with action, including freestyle stunt jumps, modern classic cavalcades, rider interviews and more. New for 2026, visitors can immerse themselves in the Trials Day experience, giving you the chance to test your skills and discover the thrill of trials riding.
Also making its debut is the Practical Workshop Area, where industry experts will be on hand with advice, demonstrations and guidance, and the Custom Corner, brought to you by Back Street Heroes, showcasing an incredible selection of custom-built motorcycles.
With so much to see and do, from iconic machines and famous faces to live action and interactive experiences, there’s never been a better time to visit the UK’s biggest classic motorcycle show.
