Record crowds helped a much-loved North Yorkshire motoring show celebrate its fifteenth anniversary in style at the weekend.
Classics on Show, held at Stokesley Showfield, drew more than 3,000 visitors on Saturday to enjoy the largest and most successful event in its history.
The show featured a record around 700 vehicles, including classic cars, commercial vehicles, motorbikes, campervans, and scooters, while visitors enjoyed autojumble stalls, live entertainment, and family activities in the sunshine.
Mike Overy, speaking on behalf of the organising committee, said: "To see Classics on Show attract its biggest-ever turnout in its 15th anniversary year was a tremendous achievement and a proud moment for everyone involved.
"The atmosphere throughout the day was fantastic and it was wonderful to see so many exhibitors, visitors and the army of volunteers and supporters coming together to make the event such a success.
"We are particularly pleased that, through this event, we will once again be able to support a number of important charities and good causes in our area."
This year’s show was the first to be jointly run by the Rotary Club of Stokesley and Erimus Rotary of Middlesbrough.
Organisers said the new partnership has strengthened the future of the event and made a positive impact on its delivery.
Proceeds from the day will support a range of local and Rotary-backed charities, including Maggie’s, Blood Bikes, and Cleveland Heart Centre.
Maggie’s provides free practical, emotional, and social support to people with cancer and their families.
Entertainment came from Bilsdale Silver Band and Crash Bang Wallop, adding to the festival atmosphere.
Visitors explored vehicle displays, browsed stalls, and relaxed in the food court throughout the day.
One highlight of this year’s event was the introduction of Scooter Square, featuring a colourful display of Vespas and Lambrettas.
