The 2026 Barnet Classic Car Show took place on Sunday, 17th May, starting as usual with a parade along Barnet High Street, The cars were then on display on the top deck of The Spires car park for four hours. The response from the public exceeded all expectations with a crowd thronging the High Street, three deep in places. The focus then transferred to The Spires where visitors admired the 100 + cars and a few classic motorcycles, and talked to owners. It was impressive that the visitors were not only classic car enthusiasts, but also families and others who came to enjoy the atmosphere, the music and to learn about classic vehicles. Entertainment was supplied by Boxty, an Irish group local to Barnet, and also by performers from Susi Earnshaw’s Bull Theatre School. There was a charity refreshments stall run by the Bull Theatre, first aid demonstrations run by St John’s Ambulance, a Rotary Club stall, a stall promoting the Barnet Medieval Festival and, of course, a Barnet Classic Car Club stall.
The visitors and participants contributed a large amount of money to the Barnet Classic Car Club’s adopted charity, namely the local Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice. The amount raised was over £5,000 thanks to other donations augmenting the collection from the public. Enormous praise is due to the Car Club’s committee who put in a tremendous amount of work to make the show so successful.
