South East-based show organiser Elk Promotions, has announced its 2026 bike show and autojumble programme.
There will be six flagship events across Kent and Sussex, with more dates to be announced soon. Themes at Elk’s 2025 shows included tributes to Indian Motorcycle and Brough Superior, alongside a celebration of the iconic Norton Featherbed frame – all of which proved popular with visitors.
Organiser Julie Diplock said: “We’ve seen a real mix of enthusiasts at our 2025 events, from long-time collectors to younger riders getting into classics for the first time, and that’s exactly what we want to encourage.
“The formula clearly works: good bikes, good jumble, and friendly people. For 2026, we’ll be building on that again, with fresh displays and features at each show, while keeping the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that regular visitors enjoy.”
This year’s shows will combine classic motorcycle displays with bike-only autojumbles, offering a selection of new and used parts, tools, and memorabilia. The free BikeMart display-to-sell area and popular Workshop Clear-Out stalls both return, giving enthusiasts plenty of opportunities to buy, sell, and trade.
