BOOK

Don't miss our largest annual event celebrating classic vehicles! Visitors are welcome to bring their cherished classic to what is probably the largest New Year's Day Classic Gathering in the UK.

Enjoy live music from three-part harmony trio The Knightingales, a winter BBQ plus breakfast and lunch stalls, there’s something for the whole family to kickstart the New Year.

Get involved

Visitors with vehicles (including motorcycles) registered before 31st July 1996 can bring their vehicle on site. We will be using every space around site so expect to see vehicles filling up the Finishing Straight, Aircraft Park, Members Banking, around Concorde and in the Motoring Village.

Vehicles registered pre-July 1996 will have an N prefix e.g. N123 ABC. Modern Sports and Supercars are welcome too.

This event is always extremely popular, pre-booking is recommended.

Also included in your ticket

Enjoy all of Brooklands Museum for the day. Discover classic cars, motorcycles and historic aircraft. Board buses in the London Bus Museum. Explore simulators and over 100 years of history at the world's first purpose-built race track.
