Riviera Classic Car Show
On 27th July 2025
The display of fabulous vehicles is complemented by stage entertainment through the day, food outlets, a craft marquee and licensed bar. This is a unique event which has developed its own very special relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Such is its popularity that exhibitors bring their vehicles from over much of England, and bookings for spaces are full months in advance. Some entries are individuals, whilst there are also clubs taking their own stand spaces. The range of vehicles is quite something to behold! There are a few rare examples from the early part of the 1900s, lots of classics from the 50s to 70s or even a bit later. There’s also a sprinkling of modern customs and supercars, commercial vehicles, scooters and motorbikes.
The show site is right at the heart of one of the most popular and busiest parts of Torbay and is always enjoyed by families on holiday as well as locals who make a point of visiting every year. With so much to see and do, it’s a great day out for all the family.
Reviews
- Grand day out! - I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, from the steam train to the ferry ride and of course, the boat trip. The designated seating and screens made me feel very safe. Well done!
- Perfect day - We have done this several times over the years and is a fantastic day out. The steam train ride is great, but the cruise makes it. The commentary is very good and funny. Would definitely recommend this trip if in the area.
- Fantastic visit - We chose to do the steam train and river cruise and it was fantastic. The staff were very helpful. After using the ferry to cross the river we went to find somewhere to have a snack before getting onto the cruise. The commentary was brilliant and we were pointed out different landmarks throughout the cruise. Thank you Dartmouth Steam Railway.
