In 2026, we’ll be celebrating five years of the Car Barn Drivers’ Club with a ‘Greatest Hits’ of our previous events. Our 2026 calendar is packed with some of our favourite themes from previous CBDC meets, including popular favourites such as Car Barn Motorsport Night and Hot Cars & Hot Dogs! As always, you’ll need to be a Car Barn Drivers’ Club member to show your car (it’s free to sign up) but we’ll have some general parking available at each event for visitors.
All our events start at 4pm
