Potential exhibitors who are not able to comply with the age or club requirements are welcome to ask, but may be refused. Acceptance of an entry is at the organiser's discretion. Exceptions considered: vehicles that are unusual, rare or interesting such as kit built, modern sports or supercars. Recently built replicas and some customised cars may be considered.

Exhibitor entry is free for the driver and one passenger, although we encourage exhibitors to make a suggested donation of £5 to our headline charity upon registration. Additional passengers must pay the visitor entry fee of £8 per person (children under 12 free).
Register your vehicle only once, please, and allow at least 7 days for confirmation to arrive before you phone us to check. Do not register again if you do not receive an immediate email response. The on-line entry form on the registration page enables you to select your appropriate classification from a drop-down list.
The entry form requires your vehicle registration number. If your exhibit does not have a vehicle registration number, please enter your surname and the year of manufacture.
Please ensure that your email address is entered correctly as this is needed to send your entry card.
If you wish to be sited with friends, please arrive together.
ALL exhibitors must register as individuals (even if attending as part of a group or club). We do not have the facility to take group bookings, but if you are attending as part of a club or group exhibit please state the name of the group or club in the 'Additional Notes' box on the entry screen form.
Wheels is a charitable event and all net proceeds will go to the local charities chosen to benefit from this year’s show. We encourage exhibitors to donate via the registration page to our charities, though there will also be an opportunity to make a donation on the day. We hope we can count on your usual support. Any club that wishes to make a donation can hand collections in to our reception tent. Please advise us of the name of your group or club at the time. - LATE ENTRIES: Any drivers and their passengers who do not register in advance, but would like their vehicle to take part in Wheels, will be charged the visitor entry fee of £8 per person for everyone in the vehicle (children under 12 free).
