The setting is simply stunning. In the shadow of the Roman Walls, with the River Dee as your backdrop and the beautifully manicured grounds of the best-attended racecourse in the UK.

Elsecar at the Races

Doncaster Racecourse and Exhibition Centre

A family-orientated car show held at Doncaster Racecourse, in the North of England, showing VW Group and retro cars. Now in its 6th year at Doncaster Racecourse, they are back there again for more of the same!

Evolved from a small meet of enthusiasts back in 1998 at the Elsecar Heritage Centre (hence the 'Elsecar' in our name) to what is now one of the UK's largest specialist car shows at the fantastic venue of Doncaster Racecourse (the 'Races' bit of the name).
The venue has space for over 100 cars in the indoor exhibition centre plus space outside for over 600 additional show cars.

30th April

Stanford Hall

Stanford on Avon, Lutterworth

The Stanford Hall event is seen by many as the year’s premier classic Volkswagen show but still retains a relaxed family-friendly atmosphere. Last year it attracted over 10,000 visitors.

Since the first event in 1976, the emphasis has always been on putting on a great display of classic unmodified Volkswagens of all types. We have always aimed to give great value for money, whether it’s in the entry prices or the fees for the trade stands.

It takes place around the lake on the grounds of a 17th Century Country House in rural Leicestershire.
