30th Carole Nash Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show
At The Bath and West Showground

What it's all about...
The Bath and West Showground provides the curtain raiser to a season of classic exhibitions. The Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show is almost as old as the International though and, despite the name, is held near Shepton Mallet rather than in the Bristol Dockland Warehouse where it originated. Naturally given the time of year most of the action happens inside and well away from any possibility of snow and wet. Attendance grows each year, with plenty of room to expand, with more than 18,000 people descending on the halls each year. The Bristol show is highly regarded as the official season opener by classic motorcycle enthusiasts. Why not come and see why? With 100s of Club, Trade, Autojumble and Private Displays it is an event that simply can't be missed. Prices on Show Day: Adults: £9.50, OAP’s: £7.50, Children:£3.50.  Open: 10am-5pm both days. Stand Booking: 01507 529430, Ticket Hotline: 01507 529529.  For further information please visit www.classicbikeshows.com
