Mathewsons Live 2026 is not just a classic car show, it is a full weekend festival in Harrogate. Alongside the incredible vehicle displays and live rally action, the showground will be filled with music, atmosphere and entertainment for all ages to enjoy. Whether you are visiting with family, friends or fellow enthusiasts, there will always be something happening to keep you entertained throughout the day and into the evening.
Throughout the weekend there will be opportunities to see and meet the Mathewsons from TV’s Bangers & Cash. Alongside conducting the live auction, they will take part in Q&A sessions on the main stage, appear on the rally stage and be out and about enjoying the displays with visitors.
Across Saturday and Sunday, two live stages will host a packed schedule of music and entertainment. Confirmed acts include The Ragdolls, a Jersey Boys tribute band, The Bluebird Belles, a 1940s-inspired vintage vocal harmony trio, and the Dave Carnell Band, with more acts still to be announced. Each performer will take to the stage multiple times across the weekend, so there will always be live music to enjoy as you explore the showground.
Mathewsons Live will feature some of the finest food, drink and local produce Yorkshire has to offer. From gourmet burgers and stone-baked pizzas to fresh ice cream and international street food, there will be plenty to choose from. Licensed bars will be available across the site, alongside traders offering speciality drinks and local favourites.
There will also be a fun fair area to keep the children, and the big kids, entertained. Attractions will include miniature train rides, a big wheel offering views across the Great Yorkshire Showground, and additional family-friendly activities to be confirmed.
