The much-loved Barrington Classic Car Meet-Up returns for another exciting season in 2025! ‘Classics on the Green’ meets on the first Friday of the month from April to October, plus a special New Year’s Day meet-up. This relaxed, friendly event is perfect for classic car lovers, families, and local residents.
Held on the picturesque green outside The Royal Oak in Barrington (CB22 7RZ), this popular event brings together car enthusiasts and locals for a fun, relaxed evening of vintage vehicles, tasty street food, and a warm community atmosphere.
Looking Back at 2024…
Last year’s Friday evenings in Barrington were a highlight of the summer. Locals and visitors were treated to a superb turnout of pristine classics, including a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II, a Morris 1000 Traveller, a collection of Land Rovers, and a variety of high-end sports cars.
Among the standout vehicles was a rare 1928 16.9 hp Sunbeam Limousine, brought by Guy Lachlam. Its unique six-cylinder engine and custom divider screen added historical intrigue. Local car lover Emily Cook from Bassingbourn also proudly showcased her newly acquired 1959 Hillman Minx Series III.
The Barrington Car Meet has a proud tradition, running for nearly 50 years since it was first organised by the late Monty Goding. With support from The Royal Oak and local enthusiasts, the meet-up continues to thrive – even bouncing back after the pandemic.
In 2025, the event continues with the same community spirit – a celebration of vintage cars, shared stories, and good food.

✔️ A stunning display of classic vehicles on the green
