Trentham Gardens

Set in the beautiful grounds of Trentham Gardens, and now in its 31^st year, the Trentham Gardens Classic & Retro Show is not to be missed!

There will be a large number of static displays to see, as well as a show arena hosting stunning parades. Vehicles include saloons, sports, American, commercial, military and classic motorcycles. Our team of judges will be in attendance to select our winners with an award ceremony taking place in the arena around 3pm. Motoring history will be brought to life for all the family to enjoy! 

Our live arena will include the now famous ‘Decibel Duel’, where owners compete to find the loudest car of the show, the arena will host a series of parades and interviews. 

Some of our oldest cars will be displayed along the main boulevard, with Italian classics taking their place in the gorgeous Italian Gardens. 

There will children’s entertainment and live vintage music, as well as a DJ playing 50s, 60s and 70s hits throughout the day. We will put on a range of hot food options, and the Trentham Gardens cafe will also be open throughout the show. You can also browse the many fantastic shopping stalls, with traders offering a wide range of lovely items. 

The Trentham Gardens shopping village will also be open throughout the event, and entry includes access to the gardens and playground.
