Skipton Car Show to return this weekend

Tuesday, 2 June 2026 09:38

Skipton Car Show.

More than 170 different vehicles are set to take over Skipton High Street this weekend.

Skipton Car Show is set to take place this Sunday (7th June) and visitors can also expect a special fly over from one of the most successful military transport aircraft in history.

Organisers of the Car Show have now confirmed that all show spaces are full, meaning that just over 170 automobiles will line the High Street between 10am and 4pm.

Mark Dale, organiser of the Car Show, said:

“We’ve had a great response to this year’s Show, with car space and traders filling the slots a few weeks ago!

"We’ve even had to create a waiting list.

“The show is a true celebration of Britain’s passion for all things automotive – and we’ve got a magnificent mix heading into Skipton on Sunday. We can’t wait to see everyone there.”

Mark revealed he has also organised for an historic Douglas C47 Dakota to fly over the show on the High Street at around 1.28pm on the day.

The Dakota was widely used by the Allies during the Second World War and became known as one of the world’s best transport aircraft.

Mark added:

“It’s going to be a fantastic extra feature during the 2026 show and one not to be missed.

A big thank you to The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight for kindly agreeing to execute the fly past.”

First held over 10 years ago, the Car Show has evolved into an event the whole town takes pride in.

Entry to the show is free and any donations made on the day will help the independently run event to continue in future years.
