Dalemain Cumbria Classic car show

> Back to Events

Organised by the Wigton classic car club the Dalemain car show is the often billed as the signature show for Cumbria. Well known and well attended – near Penrith. A large show which is again being restricted to 800 exhibitors. It is held in the grounds of the Mansion house and also has many merchandise and memorabilia stalls and lots of food vendors and lots of vehicle displays and judging competitions. This show has driving events held on the grounds for the adventurous and also a dog show arena.

The show is usually preceded on the Saturday with a drive tour called the “Rose and Thistle” tour for those who want to exercise their wheels before showing off their cars on the Sunday show day. Entry for this drive it tour includes a breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea at an early evening finish, and the tour day must be booked individually via the Wigton Motor Club’s website registration form. Costs for the tour were around the £85-mark last year.

The Dalemain show on the Sunday is certainly a great family day out with all that is going on. Last year we had club members from far and wide attending, so really looking forward to meeting up with you all again and more.

The club attendance is a discounted fee from the organising committee and is payable to the MB Club when you book.

Each entry ticket permits one car, driver and passenger so please select the number of cars you are entering and then click the BOOK NOW button. You will be transported to the clubs payments page where you can enter your details and your card numbers to make a full payment. Entry price per car to the show is held at £5. Please follow all instructions on the clubs webpage and don’t move off the page or close your browser until you see a confirmation of payment window on your device.

A month before the event I will inform the organisers of how many cars will be attending the club stand and by return I will be sent all the mirror hanger cards which I will either hand out to you if you are local at one of our routine meets or I will send out to your home address via snail mail. You will need to have the mirror hanger on clear display as you enter the show ground to gain admittance. Please follow all instruction given on the day to find the Club area, there you will be marshalled to park up with the other club members. Look out for the large club flag banner and the club Coleman Shelter.

You arrival for club stand attendance is required by 10.30am before the general public arrivals is opened up at 11.00am. Once parked at the club stand the organisers do request that you remain in location until the end of the show ~1600hrs. This is a H&S matter for them as there will be lots of people, children especially, wondering around the show. Special arrangements may be negotiated for an earlier leave.

The price per ticket is being held at £5 – so a real bargain for such a large show.
