Classics for Remembrance Sunday Event

Join us this Sunday for a special gathering of classic vehicles in recognition of Remembrance weekend.

From cherished classics and vintage vehicles to post-war icons and modern classics, all are welcome as we come together to reflect, remember, and celebrate the machines that have shaped Britain’s motoring heritage.

We are proud to display a Royal Enfield WD/RE “Flying Flea” — a remarkable 125cc lightweight military motorcycle built between 1942–1945. Designed for British airborne forces, these nimble bikes could be dropped by parachute or carried in gliders to deliver messages and maintain communication where radios weren’t available 🙏

Whether you’re displaying a vehicle or simply coming along to enjoy the cars on show, expect a relaxed and respectful atmosphere among fellow enthusiasts. Our Tramshed Café will be open throughout, serving breakfast, brunch and hot drinks.

📆 Sunday 8th November
🕰️ 10:00am – 2:00pm
🎫 Free entry for owners, visitors and spectators
📍274-278 Osmaston Road, Derby DE24 8AE

We look forward to welcoming you.

DRAG THE HALLS 🎄🔥

Fa la la la la…with a straight axle, a big-block and the front end pointed at the sky.

Gassers, hot rods, customs and American iron, this is your post-Christmas meet. Two full days of chrome, attitude and festive horsepower at Great Northern Classics in Derby.

📆 Monday 28th & Tuesday 29th December 2026
🕰️ 10:00 - 15:00
🎫 FREE ENTRY for owners, visitors and spectators
🅿️ Free
📍 274-278 Osmaston Road, Derby DE24 8AE

Whether you’re rolling in on a Willys, a Tri-Five, an Anglia or something even more unhinged, bring the stance, the stacks and the story. Meet fellow enthusiasts, check out the builds and warm up in the Tramshed Café with proper food and coffee between Christmas and New Year.

This one’s back by popular demand and bigger than ever. Don’t leave your gasser in the garage.

See you there.

Another month, another week and another opportunity to make the UK’s classic cars look and work considerably better.

There can’t be many buildings where you can drive a wreck in one door and a show winner out of another, without having to go anywhere else, but our talented tenants can do precisely that.

Or come in for a gift, have lunch, or even, have a new tattoo! The choices are endless!

Precision. Passion. Two legends, one venue.

Stuttgart and Newport Pagnell collide this Sunday at Great Northern Classics.

🇬🇧🏁🇩🇪

Porsche vs Aston isn’t a battle. It’s a celebration of the engineering and design that underpins these machines, and of the owners who keep these icons on the road.

Whether you roll in with a classic 911, a modern GT, a timeless DB, or simply come to stand and stare, this is your invitation to be part of something special.

Meet the people behind the machines and share your stories.

Tramshed Café is open all morning for breakfast, brunch and the perfect coffee while you take it all in.
