Woking Car Show 2026 is on Sunday 20 September, 11am to 4pm, free. Vehicle entries have closed; lower Commercial Way shuts to traffic and Victoria Place is £4.

Update, 11 September 2026: the show has not happened yet and is still on for Sunday 20 September, 11am to 4pm. Vehicle registration has now closed: the council’s event page says “Registration to display a vehicle at the car show has closed”, so if you missed the 31 August deadline you can only go as a visitor. The council has also published its road arrangements for the day, set out below.

The Woking Car Show returns to the town centre on Sunday 20 September, from 11am to 4pm, and it is free to attend. Woking Borough Council confirmed the date on 20 August.

If you wanted to put a vehicle in it rather than just look at one, the deadline was Monday 31 August, and that has passed.

What is on

The council’s event page lists:

  • more than 120 locally owned classic cars and motorcycles across the pedestrianised town centre
  • vehicles from film and television, including Bumblebee and the Ghostbusters car
  • displays from McLaren Automotive of its performance road cars
  • live acoustic music from local choirs and buskers
  • Dream Rides run by the Sporting Bears Motor Club, raising money for Home-Start Runnymede and Woking, leaving from the Town Gates area

The display runs from Victoria Square, down Commercial Way and into Jubilee Square.

Organiser Terry Fox, from Horsell, said: “This is our fourth event, and the pressure is on to top the success of previous years, but we are up for a challenge and promise to deliver a thrilling day with something for everyone.” His own 1950 Chevrolet pick-up will be among the vehicles on show.

Getting there and parking

Woking’s train and bus stations are both in the town centre, less than a minute’s walk from the event.

For drivers, the council says there are more than 3,500 spaces across the town centre’s main car parks, and that Victoria Place is £4 for the day on 20 September, from 6am to 6pm. Our parking in Woking page covers the usual tariffs and the other town centre car parks.

Road closures and disabled parking on the day

The council’s event page says the lower section of Commercial Way, from Caffè Nero to Leaders, and the area outside the Town Gates on Church Street East will be closed to vehicles. Eight disabled bays are suspended for the show, four near the Town Gates and four on Commercial Way, and the council points Blue Badge holders to other bays nearby and to Victoria Place. Questions before the day go to marketing.communications@woking.gov.uk or 01483 743 050.

What it means for you

If you own a classic, rare or unusual vehicle, entry was free, but registration closed on 31 August and the council confirms it is not taking more. The council selected entries to build a varied display. If you want a place in a future show, watch the council’s event page, which is where registration opened this year.

If you are visiting, expect the pedestrianised streets to be busy and take the £4 Victoria Place rate into account before driving in. On the day, the event control point is on Commercial Way, or you can call the event team on 07807 474 735.

If you run a town centre business, the council and its sponsors are pitching this at footfall. Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Finance and the Economy Cllr Dale Roberts said the show “brings families together to enjoy a great afternoon out, and it supports local businesses”.

One thing to note if you bank on that street: Halifax is closing its branch at 22-24 Commercial Way three days later, on 23 September.
