Skipton Car Show FAQs

Over the years we have been asked many questions on our Facebook page about the show. So below we have put together some reasons for why we do what we do.

• Due to the location of the show we are very limited for numbers and every car has to be PRE-BOOKED- and is via an application form process – we expect a lot of applications, so, unfortunately, not everyone will be able to show their car on the High Street. Of course, we’d still like you to attend, and we expect the car parks in Skipton will be full of great cars!
• We aim to have as much variation of vehicles as possible to appeal to a wide range of tastes
• Generally, we ask for PRE-2005 cars only. There are some exceptions for special, unusual or interesting cars. All vehicles will be booked at our discretion
• There is NO turn up and show
• The £10 booking fee is to secure your place at the show. And to help cover the costs of putting the show on.
• Over the years the show has been very busy with the general public and at times people can end up very close to your car. If this could be an issue for you then this is not the show for you
• The show is all on hard standing, however whilst some cars will be on tarmac the majority will be on the setts (cobbles) that can be uneven. If your car is incredibly low and you do not want to park on the cobbles please inform us when sending your information through
• Due to the location of the show being held on the public highway all the vehicles have to be in place by no later than 9:45am and will not be able to move again until the show is closed around 4pm
• We do not want to cause any upset to anyone so please do not turn up without being confirmed, booked and paid
• As this show is a mix of tastes we ask exhibitors to be respectful of others choice of ride as beauty is in the eye the of the beholder
