Practical Classics Classic Car Restoration Show 2027

The Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show is back at the NEC Campus from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 March 2027, taking over Halls 3A to 5. It's built around live restoration: clubs and experts work across the halls to bring classics back to life in front of the crowd, and you can pick up practical restoration tips as you go. If you've ever wondered how a rusted shell becomes a runner again, this is the place to see it happen in real time.

Beyond the live work, there's a huge amount to look at. More than 1,300 cars and over 160 clubs gather across the halls, so there's plenty to wander through. There's a classic car sale with hundreds of vehicles going under the hammer, a stage where TV personalities share their stories and expertise, and a prize competition for owners. You'll also find a barn find display and a chance to ride in a dream classic for charity with Sporting Bears. For those bringing the kids, there's a Peppa Pig Space Adventure.

It's a three-day affair, so you can pick the day that suits you best. On Friday, the halls are open from 10am to 5:30pm; Saturday is the longest day, 9:30am to 6pm; and Sunday runs from 9am to 5pm. Tickets range from £31.25 to £66.25.
