The rally started some years ago when a group of local farmers and ‘tractor boys’ got together over a weekend to show off their vintage farm vehicles and steam engines. Money raised that weekend was donated to a local charity and because a good time was had by all, arrangements were made for a repeat rally the following year. Since then the Bolnhurst Vintage & Country Fayre has gone from strength to strength. It has grown to include vintage cars/heavy goods vehicles and static displays together with various local craft stalls. Entertainment has been laid on every year in the main arena, including tractor games and various displays. 

We are excited to announce that the Whitby & District Motor Club will join Classics on Show – the region’s fastest-growing classic vehicles event – at Stokesley Showfield for our 2024 event on Saturday, June 15th.

Although the club is predominately Stage Rally based, it welcomes any form of motorsport.

A vintage steam working event in the High Weald of Sussex.

We have a number of exhibits and displays attending including Traction Engines, Heavy Haulage, Commercial Vehicles, Classic Cars, Road Making displays, Threshing and Wood sawing displays.

Working with the Chailey Classic & Vintage Tractor Club, a number of tractors also travelled to our event in 2023 from France.

A Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight also carried out a flypast on the Saturday of our event.

Get ready for an unforgettable experience at the 2024 Lyn Valley Classic. Immerse yourself in a day of automotive wonder, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lynton and Lynmouth, all while supporting worthy causes.

The Lyn Valley Classic, which began in 2014, was born from the vision of local business owners passionate about motorized vehicles and their desire to support local charities while highlighting the beauty of their twin villages.

Admission is free but donations are always gratefully received. 

Since the event started all those years ago, a total of £97,000 has been raised for many village groups and organisations.
