The BVAC parade ring will feature a range of displays throughout the day to keep visitors entertained; there will be wonderful pipe band displays and of course the BVAC classic prize giving.

2025 saw the return of the thrilling BMX stunt shows – courtesy of the Clan Stunt Team.

Keep an eye out for details on our entertainment plans for 2025!

Not only will the cars on show provide a feast for the eyes, the showcase of some of the most wonderful food and drink, will ensure visitors tastebuds are well-catered for also!

There will be no shortage of choice to keep visitors fuelled at the event, with a range of excellent food and drink vendors all around the show site.

In addition, our artisan food & drink retail marquee will showcase some wonderful local produce, meaning you’ll not be short of treats for the journey home!

In 2024, The Sporting Bears attended the show, offering visitors a chance to enjoy ‘Dream Rides’ in a fabulous variety of classic, sports and super cars in aid of UK children’s charities.

The Sporting Bears is a club run entirely by volunteers and so far has raised over £3million for children’s charities. Last year, at the BVAC Classic, the Sporting Bears supported the Harris Trust; a Scottish Borders based charity, focussed on raising awareness and providing training around neurodiversity and mental health.

The rides will run throughout the day, departing from the Castle front, where – for a donation to the Bears’ nominated charities – you can book a thrilling 10-mile passenger ride in the exotic car of your choice. Performance cars scheduled include Aston Martin, Ariel Atom, Lancia Integrale Evo, KITT Trans Am Nightrider and Ultima Can-Am. While their more relaxed rides are usually available in a Chevrolet Bel-Air, a Rolls-Royce and for fun Messerschmitt Bubble Cars.

Dream Rides are run under normal traffic laws and all the volunteer drivers have given their time, cars and fuel, so that 100% of your donation goes to charity.

Away from the cars, there will be an opportunity to enjoy some retail therapy, within our shopping village.

We’re looking forward to welcoming a range of retailers to the event from all different sectors, with an emphasis on local and Scottish businesses.

You can expect exhibitors showcasing everything from clothing and jewellery to car accessories and services.

There will be plenty to keep our younger show visitors occupied, with a children’s play area and an array of different rides, activities and attractions.

Away from the cars, visitors to the BVAC will be greeted with a number of different sights and attractions, from falconry displays to soft target shooting activities
