About This Event

Classic Nostalgia is the flagship weekend at Shelsley Walsh, the oldest motorsport venue in the world still running on its original course, first used in 1905. Pre 1976 racing cars, vintage specials and rally cars run up the hill all weekend, with open paddocks and a garden party feel in the Worcestershire countryside.

1What to Expect

Hill climb runs go from 9am to about 5pm both days, plus demonstration runs and parades.
The organiser lists Formula 1 cars, NASCARs, rally cars and historic competition cars among the machines on the hill.
The paddock, hill, courtyard and spectator enclosures are all covered by the ticket, so the cars can be seen up close between runs.
Show all 5
Car club displays, the Classic and Sports Car Concours, trade stands and a vintage fashion competition fill the grounds. Live music plays in the Courtyard all day and on Saturday night.
The organiser runs it rain or shine.
