The Bath and West Showground provides the curtain raiser to a season of classic exhibitions. The Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show is almost as old as the International though and, despite the name, is held near Shepton Mallet rather than in the Bristol Dockland Warehouse where it originated. Naturally given the time of year most of the action happens inside and well away from any possibility of snow and wet. Attendance grows each year, with plenty of room to expand, with close on 20,000 people descending on the halls last year.

Advance tickets: Adult £10, Senior £8, children under 12 £3.

On the Gate tickets: Adult £12, Senior £10, children under 12 £4.

Gates are open both days 10am – 5pm.
