What’s On In 2026…
Retro Lane
Step into Retro Lane where classic rides meet new adventures. This year amongst the beautifully restored caravans there will be a DIY work in progress restoration on site and a Q & A session at 2.00pm daily.
Retro Lane has proven extremely popular among visitors to the Hamilton Show over the years and we are thrilled to welcome back this part of the show again. Visitors will be treated to a collection of vintage caravans, cars & vans on display over the whole weekend.
If you are interested in displaying your own classic vintage caravan, please email us. We'd love to hear from you!
