Vintage cars are set to thunder across a Yorkshire beach as Race the Waves returns to Bridlington 🏁 🚗

Bridlington is gearing up for one of the most unusual weekends on the Yorkshire coast, as vintage cars and motorcycles prepare to race across the sands of South Beach.

Race the Waves returns from Friday 11 to Sunday 13 September 2026, recreating the golden age when Yorkshire’s beaches were used for early speed trials and land speed record attempts.

The main attraction will see an impressive collection of vintage European and American cars and motorcycles racing along a 200-yard course carved into the tidal sands, with cars going head-to-head and groups of bikes roaring away from the start line.

And there’s plenty more happening away from the racing.

The Yorkshire Bus Bar will provide refreshments from a converted vintage bus beside Bridlington Spa.

Elsewhere, there will be classic car and motorbike displays from Bridlington Lions, an RNLI hot rod display, food and drink stalls and entertainment throughout the weekend.

The racing begins at around 11am on Saturday 12 September and 12 noon on Sunday 13 September, with timings dependent on tides and beach conditions.

Before that, race vehicles will gather in Bridlington Old Town on Friday, giving visitors the chance to see the machines up close and meet some of the competitors.

And if roaring engines aren’t enough, the Great Bridlington Steampunk Weekend will also be taking place inside the Royal Hall at Bridlington Spa, with entertainment, workshops, traders and plenty of spectacular costumes.

Race the Waves is free to attend, although some additional attractions are ticketed separately.
