Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show With Discovery Moves To 2022

The Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show with Discovery now moves to March 2022. In an expected move with the current set of government regulations, the organisers Clarion events have decided that the 2021 show should not go ahead. The March 2022 show will be from the 18th to 22nd.

Event Director Lee Masters said: “We understand this will be as big of a disappointment to our exhibitors and visitors as it is to us. We have all been very much looking forward to getting back to some form of normality and ‘business as usual’.

“We are truly sorry that we have had to make this extremely difficult decision and thank all involved for their continued patience, understanding and support in these ever-changing times.”

There is some good news though, Saturday 27 March will now host a live event celebrating elements of the show shared through social media.

Classic Car Auctions will still be hosting their Spring Live Online sale on Friday 26 March.

Any tickets already purchased will carry over to the same day next year. Alternatively, you could swap them for the Lancaster Classic Motor Show on the 11 to 13 November 2021 the Reis Race Retro show on the 18 to 20 February 2022. Contact [email protected] with your request, including your ticket booking reference if you have this available.

The timetable for the live event has been released. Head to the NEC Restoration Show to see how to attend.
