Elsecar at the races

Water & air cooled car show

A family-orientated car show held at Doncaster Racecourse, in the North of England, showing VW Group and retro cars. Now in our 5th year at Doncaster Racecourse, it's back there again for more of the same!

Having evolved over the last 21 years from a small meet of enthusiasts at the Elsecar Heritage Centre (hence the 'Elsecar'  in the name), it is now one of the UK's largest specialist car shows at the fantastic venue of Doncaster Racecourse (the 'Races' bit of the name).

The venue has space for over 100 cars in the indoor exhibition centre plus space outside for over 600 additional show cars.

About the venue

The prestigious Doncaster Racecourse & Exhibition Centre is regarded as one of the finest sporting venues in Europe and home to the world's oldest classic horse race - the St Ledger Stakes.

After undergoing a £34million redevelopment, with outstanding indoor/outdoor facilities, it is a perfect venue for one of the UK’s longest established specialist car shows.

The indoor exhibition centre has the capacity to hold over 200 display vehicles/traders and space for a further 500+ vehicles in the outdoor display area.

A wide range of places to eat and drink available plus excellent car parking facilities with over 5000 spaces, mean you won't be scrabbling for a space.

Superbly located near the heart of Doncaster, the stunning Racecourse is a convenient venue for nearby Sheffield and Leeds, with links to the A1, M1, M18 and M62 making it easily accessible to the other areas of the UK and Europe.
