Substitute Vehicles

If you need to substitute your original vehicle with a different but qualifying vehicle you must ask for a new entry ticket by providing full details, including registration number, in advance, by emailing tickets@classicsonthecommon.com or by writing to Classics on the Common, c/o 16 Elliswick Road, Harpenden AL5 4TP.

Please note:

• No tickets will be sold after Friday 17 July except for owners of “late entry” motorcycles and scooters who will be charged £10 at the gate on the day.
• Online tickets will be scanned on entry to the event to confirm validity.
• Start times are as shown above but we request that you stay on the Common until at least 6.00pm. This is to minimize congestion as vehicles arrive throughout the afternoon.
• To ensure we recover our unavoidable set-up costs, in the event of our having to cancel Classics, your ticket price is non-refundable.

Charities

Thanks to the generosity of car and motorcycle and scooter owners, spectators, our advertisers and sponsors, our last event raised £33,000 for charity. A helpful slice of that came from Gift Aid and we encourage you to tick the box on the application form if you are kindly able to donate more than the minima. Our main charities for 2026 will be Harpenden Child Contact Centre, Essex & Herts. Air Ambulance and Mercy Ships.

Harpenden Town Council has asked us to remind you that barbecues are not permitted on the Common and, for space considerations, no gazebos are allowed.
