How do I exit the showground?

The arrangements for leaving the showground are slightly changed this year in order to avoid pedestrians and cars using the same gate between the public car park and the showground:

Cars exiting the public car park will now leave by the south-west gates, turn left onto Pullar Avenue, turn right to stay on Pullar Avenue, and then right again onto Cornton Road leading up to the A9 in Bridge of Allan (or turn left if heading into Stirling).
Vehicle exhibitors and pedestrian-only members of the public will exit by the main mid-north gate from the showground, and then along Mayne Avenue and Keir Street to reach the main road (Henderson Street / A9).
No cars will use the south-east gate/path between the showground and the public car park, which is for pedestrian-only use this year.

Can I bring a dog to the show?

Yes, dogs are welcome. Please note that dogs must be kept under control and on leads at all times. Also, dogs must not be left unattended in cars either in the showground or in the public car park.

Can I still enter my classic vehicle for display in the showground?

Unfortunately, we are no longer accepting classic vehicle entries for this year’s show, to allow enough time to issue passes and plan the layout of the showground. Despite that, we still hope to see you on the day of the show and please look out for the launch of the entry period early next year for the 2025 show.

Can I still enter as a trader or autojumbler?

Unfortunately, we are no longer accepting entries from traders and autojumblers, to allow enough time complete the regulatory processes and plan the layout of the showground. Please look out for the launch of the entry period early next year for the 2025 show.

Can I just turn up on the day of the show and enter my classic vehicle for display in the showground?

No, this will not be possible. Entry on the day of the show was possible in 2022, but that was because of the special circumstances immediately after the COVID pandemic. Entry on the day will not be possible this year, mainly because of the risk of causing significant delays to getting vehicles onto the showfield.

If the show is cancelled will my entry fee for my classic vehicle be refunded?

No, entry fees for classic vehicle exhibitors are not refundable. The costs of running the car show are considerable and we are always at the mercy of the weather. If the weather on the day of the show is very bad, that can result in a show being cancelled and therefore there being no income from public attendees to cover the costs. Consequently, all entry fees are non-refundable.

When can show vehicles enter the showground?

Show vehicles can enter the showground from 8am on Sunday 14th May and have to be onsite by 9.30am.

When can show vehicles leave the showground?

Entrants are required to remain on the showground until 4pm.

How many people does my classic vehicle entry fee allow to enter the show?

The entry fee allows admittance of your classic vehicle and up to two people.
