This flagship event has rapidly become the North's most anticipated automotive gathering, combining world-class vehicles with the stunning backdrop of England's most cherished national park.

A Festival Born from Pure Automotive Passion

What started as a vision to create something truly special for car enthusiasts has blossomed into the Lake District's premier automotive celebration. The Wheels Up North Weekender represents everything wonderful about British car culture, bringing together families, friends, and fellow enthusiasts in an atmosphere that celebrates both mechanical artistry and community spirit.

The event spans two action-packed days, beginning on 19th July with entertainment and camping opportunities, followed by the main show day on 20th July. Running from 10:30am to 4:30pm, this carefully crafted schedule ensures maximum enjoyment whilst allowing visitors to explore the wider Lake District region at their leisure.

An Extraordinary Array of Automotive Excellence

The vehicle lineup at Wheels Up North Weekender 2025 promises to be nothing short of spectacular. Supercars will gleam alongside cherished classics, whilst motorcycles, race cars, and rally legends create an intoxicating mix of automotive heritage and cutting-edge performance.

This diverse collection means every visitor, regardless of their particular automotive passion, will find something to capture their imagination. Classic car enthusiasts can admire meticulously restored vintage beauties, whilst those with a taste for modern performance can witness the latest supercars up close. The motorcycle contingent ensures two-wheeled enthusiasts feel equally welcomed, creating a truly inclusive celebration of all things automotive.

The club and dealer stands provide opportunities to connect with like-minded enthusiasts, share knowledge, and perhaps even strike up conversations that lead to lasting friendships. These interactions often prove as memorable as the vehicles themselves, fostering the community spirit that makes Wheels Up North Weekender so special.

Thrills Beyond the Static Displays

Whilst admiring stationary vehicles has its appeal, Wheels Up North Weekender 2025 takes excitement to another level with its dedicated burnout stage.

Live music performances complement the automotive action, creating a festival atmosphere that extends well beyond car appreciation. This blend of automotive excellence and quality entertainment ensures every family member finds something to enjoy, regardless of their level of automotive interest.

Culinary Excellence in the Refuel Zone

The food and drink options cater to diverse tastes and dietary requirements, ensuring everyone can refuel properly between vehicle viewings and entertainment. This attention to culinary detail reflects the organisers' commitment to creating a comprehensive experience that satisfies all the senses.

Creating Lasting Memories Through Camping
