Taking place on Sunday 26th October 2025, the 2025 Autumn Ardingly Show celebrates Indian Motorcycles. The iconic American brand will be represented by rare and unusual bikes displayed by the Indian Riders Motorcycle Club and Karl Foulkes-Halbard of Filching Motor Museum.
There will also be a special talk by Allan Ford who ran and rode the Motodrome Wall of Death using Indian twin cylinder motorcycles, and his 1926 Indian used for the attraction will also be on display.
But there’s also a lot more to see at Ardingly Classic Bike Show & Jumble, including club stands, private show entires, traders and the autojumble. And you can also enter your own pre-1980 motorcycle for show awards and trophies with free entry for you and your bike. That includes the Next Gen award for riders under 30 years of age, who can win a cash prize of £100 for their classic. Last year, the winner was Maria Coombes from Kent, secretary of the BSA Bantam Club’s Kent Branch, with her 1955 125cc Bantam D1.
If you’re buying or selling, there is a free-to-display BikeMart area for complete machines, and you can book a “Workshop Clear-Out” stall for £20 in advance if you’ve accumulated lots of parts that you don’t really need.
