About

This is probably the biggest classic vehicle event in the South West with some 1500-2000 exhibits including steam, cars, motorcycles, commercials, military, tractors and buses. There are around one hundred trade stands, including many autojumblers.

Organised by the Crash Box and Classic Car Club, this year celebrates fifty years since the first show here in 1975. We have lots of family entertainment too, with a fun dog show, Ferris wheel, VE Day display, live music, miniature children’s train, face painting and more.

Over the years and with the with the help of visitors, exhibitors, suppliers, sponsors and Powderham Castle, we have raised around £300,000 for mostly local charities. This year, our headline charities are:

Hospiscare (Exeter)

Sidmouth Living With Cancer Support Group
