Attending the Tatton Park Car Show involves two main charges: parking and entry. Parking is approximately £10 and can be purchased in advance through the Tatton Park website. It’s located in an open field, so come prepared if the weather’s wet. Entry to the car show itself is around £15 per adult, bringing the total to £25 or more per person before you’ve even bought a burger or souvenir.

Compared to similar events like the Claremont Car Show, which offers free parking and donation-based entry, the pricing at Tatton can feel steep, especially considering there are no indoor facilities or permanent buildings. Everything is based outdoors, which can be brilliant in the sun, but less enjoyable in the rain.

That said, the event does offer a lot for your money: over 2,000 classic and performance cars, trade stalls, a massive autojumble, live entertainment, charity Dream Rides, and a family-friendly Kid Zone. If you’re a dedicated car enthusiast or enjoy a full day out with plenty to see, it can justify the cost. For casual visitors or families, it may come down to how much you value the experience and whether the weather holds up.

Note: Costs are approximate and some discounts may be available ahead of time.
