Cowes Classics Day is a day to celebrate the past and revive nostalgic memories, with classic cars, famous aircraft, yachts and motor boats on display for all to enjoy.
The event is set on and around The Parade, in front of the royal yacht clubs in Cowes, Isle of Wight, the historical home of yachting in the UK. Visitors will be able to enjoy this unique gathering of historic and interesting cars, boats and planes, accompanied by a support programme of activities and happenings. Nearly 1,000 people visited Cowes Classics Day last year, and we expect to significantly exceed that participation this year.
