Mark your calendars for an unforgettable weekend as the Broyle Country Show returns on June 29 to 30, 2024. Nestled just outside Ringmer near Lewes in scenic East Sussex, this annual event blends entertainment, history, and community spirit in one big, easygoing countryside weekend.

An overview of the classic cars on show

The Broyle Country Show is known for its huge range of displays, including vintage vehicles from across the country. From pre war motorbikes to classic cars and Land Rovers, there is loads to wander through at your own pace. The steam engines and outdoor displays are a highlight, and there is something to catch your eye in every corner of the showground.

More than just exhibits

Beyond the displays, the weekend has live music in the beer tent on Friday and Saturday evenings, plus camping right next to the showground if you want to make a full weekend of it. It is the kind of event where you can spend the day exploring, grab food, catch a band later on, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere that makes it feel like a proper local celebration.
