The South of England Classic Motorcycle Show and Bikejumble is on Sunday 29 March
2026 at the South of England Showground, Ardingly, near Gatwick RH17 6TL. The show is inside the modern Queens Jubilee Hall, and we've got a stunning display of machines booked in.
The theme is Two-Strokes, and we have Special Guest Stan Stephens, legendary two-stroke tuner. Make sure to catch his presentation together with Mike Jackson, Greeves ex-works rider. Watch and hear a selection of the bikes in the fire-up paddock! Download the Show Programme here, with details of all the bikes entered!
