Thruxton Retro

Date 03 – 05 July 2026

There’s a 1980s theme to Thruxton Retro (previously the Thruxton Historic), so make sure you’ve got your best 1980s wardrobe in order before the show on the 3rd to 5th of July. The main focus is on track, where on the Saturday and Sunday you’ll see classic touring cars, Alfas, MGs, Formula Ford 1600s, classic F3 and more, interspersed by parades from some of the classic car clubs. Friday and Saturday host live music performances, and all three days offer plenty for families with kids (including car painting – it’ll stop them doing it on the walls at home), and a wide range of food and drink.
