GP Paddock

The Grand Prix Paddock, also known as the ‘Live Start Up Area’, is famous for giving classic bike fans an up close and personal experience of the sounds of days gone by.

The Live Firing up area is one of the most exciting attractions at The International Classic MotorCycle Show, providing visitors with a rare opportunity to see classic motorcycles in action.

Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or simply curious about the world of classic motorcycles, the Live Firing up area at The International Classic MotorCycle Show is a must-see attraction that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

The Competition Hall

One of the many highlights has to be the Competition Hall located just next to the Live Start-up Area. This April sees the return of bike enthusiast, engineer, off-road nut, crowd favourite and thankfully our compere for the weekend, John McCrink.

Among a slew of classic racing machines crammed into the Competition Hall, we’ll have bikes spanning a hundred years of motorcycling. Classic bikes from the world of motocross, trials, road race, enduro and grass track will all be represented, most of which are still ridden in anger. Don’t worry, there are always a few trailer queens among these well-used machines, showing off the craftsmanship and care that we enthusiasts lavish on our bikes. Make no mistake, this hall is for proper racing fans!

Outside, McCrink will host a trials demonstration led by the Owd Codgers Trials Club. Old they are, codgers they may be, but these boys can still ride a bike!

Live Displays

Wall of Death

The Fox family have been touring and entertaining since the 1920s. With their vintage Indian Scouts and 20ft high vertical wall, it is a show that needs to be seen to be believed! All those who witness the spectacular performance will remember it for the rest of their life. The noise, the speed, the smell, the proximity of the bikes ridden to the top of the wall (barely six inches from the audience) it is an experience never to be forgotten!

*Entrance to the Wall of Death is chargeable.

The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show established in 1994

Celebrating the growing popularity of emerging and modern classics from the 1970s, 80s and now covering the retro-cool bikes of the 90s and 00’s, the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show has grown in popularity year after year and now regularly welcomes more than 30,000 enthusiasts through its doors. Taking place at the superb Staffordshire County Showground the event features over 900 traders, dealers and autojumble stands offering a wealth of parts and spares for every project.

2024 will be focussing on the Ducati 916 and celebrating its 30th birthday! A work of art to some, it was voted to most beautiful bike of the last 50 years. It’s safe to say the 916 story is incredible.

Working with the Ducati Owners Club the show will feature a timeline of stunning 916’s from the early standard Biposto’s from 1994 to the much rarer SPS from 1998. Who knows there might be and 851 or 888 thrown in for good measure!

2024 Star Guests

To celebrate the Ducati 916’s birthday, we have bought together the two men probably most synonymous with the 916. Carl Fogarty, who achieved four World Super Bike Championships on the Ducati and crowd favourite, ex-GP star and veteran WSB campaigner Pierfrancesco Chili. Both men were at the top of their game in mid-90’s racing against each other, all over the world. One had the ‘keys to the factory’ so to speak, and the other, an Italian, had to contend the championship on a privateer bike.

Both will be on the Carole Nash Live Stage across the weekend being interviewed by nonother than Jack Burnicle. There will be some incredible stories being told from probably one of the best era’s in motorcycle racing EVER!

The question on everyone’s lips, just what would have happened if Frankie, in his dressing gown on pit lane, had got hold of Carl at Assen…
