Lancashire Coast Classic & Performance Motor Show - a fantastic way to launch the season

There is something special about that first proper show of the year – the one that shakes off winter, gets engines fired up again and brings everyone back together around the cars, bikes and builds they love. That is exactly why the Lancashire Coast Classic & Performance Motor Show is a fantastic way to launch the season, setting the tone for the months ahead with variety, atmosphere and the kind of live motoring buzz you simply do not get from scrolling through photos at home.

Sunshine, chrome, rumble of engines and chatter as enthusiasts enjoy one of Lancashire’s most beautiful venues — the Lancashire Coast Classic & Performance Motor Show at Lytham Hall on Sunday 17th May proved to be a fantastic way to launch the Great British Motor Shows 2026 season.

Set within the stunning grounds of Lytham Hall, the show once again brought together an incredible mix of vehicles, owners, clubs and families for a true celebration of motoring across the ages. From beautifully restored classics and motorcycles to motorsport machinery, modified builds, performance cars and modern supercars, the variety on display highlighted exactly what Great British Motor Shows is all about – bringing enthusiasts together and celebrating motoring passion.

The Georgian mansion and parkland setting created a spectacular backdrop, with visitors enjoying not only the vehicles themselves but also woodland walks, lakeside views, tea rooms and the historic hall, making it a complete day out for enthusiasts and families alike.
