The Pangbourne Classic Car Show has celebrated another outstanding year, welcoming hundreds of visitors to Pangbourne College for a spectacular day of classic motoring, family entertainment and community fundraising.
Held on Saturday 30 May 2026 in the stunning grounds of Pangbourne College, the event enjoyed glorious weather throughout the day, helping to attract a fantastic turnout of vehicle exhibitors, enthusiasts, families and supporters from across Berkshire and beyond.
Organisers are delighted to announce that the event has raised in excess of £18,000 for charitable causes, with final figures still being calculated. Funds raised will support the show's longstanding charity partner, Footsteps Foundation, which helps children with neurological conditions and movement disorders. The Farmers' Market also raised valuable funds for the Pangbourne College Community Fund and Transforming Futures.
Visitors enjoyed an exceptional display of vintage, classic, rare and performance vehicles, alongside a variety of food and drink offerings, family attractions and the ever-popular Sporting Bears experience rides. The opportunity to enjoy passenger rides in an incredible selection of classic and performance cars proved, once again, to be one of the highlights of the day.
The organisers would like to express their sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the event such a tremendous success.
"We were delighted with the incredible turnout and the wonderful atmosphere throughout the day," said the organising team. "The combination of fantastic weather, stunning vehicles and overwhelming support from the local community created a truly memorable event. Raising more than £18,000 for charity is a remarkable achievement and would not have been possible without the generosity and enthusiasm of everyone involved."
Special thanks are extended to the show's loyal supporters and sponsors, including Kingdom Coffee, who have supported the event since its inception and once again donated all refreshment profits to charity. The organisers also wish to thank Howden Insurance, DC Lubricants, Waxed Detailing, PR Motors, and Mammoth Toilet Hire for their continued support and contribution to the event's success.
The organisers would also like to recognise the invaluable support of the Sporting Bears, the many vehicle owners who proudly displayed their cars, the volunteers who gave their time, and the hundreds of visitors whose generosity helped make this year's fundraising total possible.
The success of this year's event has already generated excitement for the future, and organisers are pleased to confirm that the Pangbourne Classic Car Show will return in 2028, continuing its tradition of bringing together automotive enthusiasts while raising vital funds for deserving causes.
Further details about the 2028 event will be announced in due course.
