Alton Classic Car Show

24/08/2026

What a day Alton! 🚗☀️

We hope everyone who joined us for the Alton Classic Car Show 2026 had a fantastic day. The town was absolutely buzzing and it was brilliant to see the High Street packed with people enjoying the cars, entertainment and everything going on throughout the show.

The event is organised by Lions Club – Registered Charity No: 1174502, and a huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported us so generously on the day.

Whether you made a donation, bought Grand Prize Draw tickets, picked up a copy of the Car Show Magazine, or bought one of the special Heritage Prints of your car, it all helped us raise a fantastic amount of money for Michael's Hospice (North Hampshire).

And, of course, thank you to all the classic car owners, volunteers, performers, sponsors, local businesses and everyone else who helped make the day possible.

We’ve picked out some of our favourite photos from the day — although choosing from so many was not easy!

Did you have a good day? What was your favourite car, moment or part of the show?
We’d love to hear your comments below.

Thank you, Alton — we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
