An annual classic car and bike show will take a break this year to enable building work at its base in the Derbyshire Dales.

Matlock Rugby Club is poised to build a new clubhouse at Cromford Meadows, which will begin in April with the demolition of the existing building. The new facility is scheduled to be open late in 2026.

The car and bike show, one of the most popular of its kind in the area, uses the clubhouse and its facilities as the event base with proceeds shared between Rotary charities and the junior section of the rugby club.

Matlock Rotary and Matlock Rugby Club have decided to move their 12th Classic Car & Bike Show from 2026 to 2026, thus postponing it to Father’s Day on June 20, 2027.

Cromford Classic Car & Bike Show has been postponed until June 20, 2027 to enable the building of a new clubhouse at Cromford Meadows.
