Event Description
We attended this fantastic event for the first time in 2023 and have pre-registered for 10 cars this year, although it may be possible to increase this if demand is higher. The show takes place on Sunday 2nd June 2024, however, there is an optional ‘Scenic Drive’ through the Scottish Borders countryside on Saturday 1st June.

2024 marks 60 Years of the fabulous Ford Mustang, widely regarded as one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. With this in mind, this year’s show theme will have a focus on American cars.

Join us for a fabulous family day out at Scotland’s premier classic car show!

  • 1,000 classic, vintage and historic cars
  • Live motorsport action stage
  • Breath-taking stunt displays
  • Sporting Bears charity ‘Dream Rides’
  • Kids rides and activities
  • Pipe band display
  • Retail village
  • Artisan food and drink village

SATURDAY 1st June:
There is no public admission on Saturday, but entrants are invited to take part in a Scenic Run in the beautiful Borders countryside – Please indicate when you register if you intend to take part in the Saturday ‘Scenic run’. Local accommodation will, given the scale of the show, get booked up quickly, however, camping (with limited facilities) is available (see below)

CAMPING
There is space for entrants to camp on Fridays, Saturday and Sunday nights. Facilities are limited to a water standpipe and portable toilets. The charge is £5 per night for a tent or £10 per night for a campervan or caravan.

SUNDAY 2nd June:
Your cars are the stars when the show opens to the public at 11am. Entrants are asked to be in place by 10.30am and not leave before 4pm.
There is an entry fee of £10 per vehicle, including show admission for the driver and all passengers. Current BVAC members get free entry.
All display vehicles must remain in place for the whole period of public admission.

Notes
I am required to submit final names/details by 21st April 2024 so please register as quickly as possible. It is essential that you advise at the time of registration if you wish to participate in the Saturday ‘Scenic Run’ and/or camp on-site.

As indicated, I have pre-registered for 10 cars but may be able to increase this if demand is high. We already (as of 16th January) have 4 cars signed up!
