Want to get the full Classic Ford Show experience? Then ready your camping gear and wake up right in the thick of the action at the South of England Showground, beating the queues and making the most of the event.
Gates open for campers from 1pm on Saturday 10th May, giving you loads of time to roll in, set up your pitch, and chill out with fellow Ford fans before show day. Whether you’re showing a car, searching for rare parts, or just here for the vibes, camping’s the perfect way to soak it all in.
Pitch Up and Settle In
Camping is just £25 for two adults (kids under 14 go free, max 4 per paying adult), so you can split it between mates or make it a proper family affair. Bag your spot early and get set for a big weekend of classic Blue Oval magic.
There’s no need to sit by the tent twiddling your thumbs either. We’ve lined up plenty to keep you busy on Saturday night. There’ll be a live DJ spinning right into the evening, and if you’re feeling lively, the pump track will be open to anyone who fancies a blast. Got kids in tow? The Kids Zone will be open to help keep them busy while you kick back.
And then once you start to get hungry, you can pick from a range of food vendors serving pizzas, Greek street food and burgers (vendors to be confirmed). There’ll also be a bar where you can purchase alcohol and soft drinks.

BBQs Welcome
If you’re planning your own cook-up, no problem. BBQs are allowed as long as they’re at least 30cm off the ground and have some ground protection underneath. (But fire pits aren’t allowed, so leave those at home.)
Don’t Miss Out On Camping at Classic Ford Show
The campsite shuts at 6pm on Sunday 11th May, giving you a full day to explore all the cars, clubs, traders, and live action at Classic Ford Show before you pack up and roll out.
Camping spaces are limited, so if you want to beat the morning queues and wake up just steps from the show, book your camping pitch now!
