Mortons Media Group has now cancelled its Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show, which was planned to operate as an advance-ticket-only affair. 

The event, due to take place over the weekend of the 10th to the 11th of October 2020 at Stafford County Showground, will now be shelved until 2021. The Mortons team aims to return to Stafford with the International Classic MotorCycle Show next April.

A Mortons statement reads; "This long-established event has always been a firm favourite with motorcycle enthusiasts from all over Europe, and with the increase of cases worldwide, Mortons feels this is the safest thing to do, for the well-being of visitors and traders.

"Not only is the show a highlight in the event calendar, it is also a strong social event for visitors at the show, with people naming a ‘day out with their friends’, as one of the top three reasons for going. Given the current restrictions with the ‘rule of six’, and the increasing localised lockdowns nationwide, Mortons believes this is the most responsible course of action to take."

Mortons will continue to hold regular outdoor autojumbles at Newark showground and Kempton Park.
