No 2CVGB local groups volunteered to host this year’s Registers’ Day, so we’re trying something new. We’re running Registers’ Day as part of the Hollowell Steam and Heavy Horse Show (Northants), which is on Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th of July. There will be the usual display of A-Series vehicles, but also everything the Hollowell show has to offer. Read on to learn more about the show and how Registers’ Day will work.

Hollowell Steam and Heavy Horse Show

In 2026 the Hollowell Steam and Heavy Horse Show hopes to attract over 40,000 visitors with over 800 exhibitors & traders and a couple of hundred volunteer helpers to help you enjoy the show. We have a great selection of vehicles, horses, trade stall and attractions to keep the family entertained all day.

Our ‘staff’ are all unpaid volunteers, we own or borrow most of the equipment used in the set up and running of the show so as much of your cash as possible can be given away to local charities and good causes. We are proud to be able to say we make sure that your entrance fee is not used on unnecessary expenses.

If you get tired of walking around the exhibits you can always sit down and enjoy one of the best views in Northamptonshire, dogs and even children are more than welcome, and the whole atmosphere is we hope very informal and friendly.

Registers’ Day – 4th July

Registers’ Day, which is when voting will take place, is Saturday 4th July but 2CVGB vehicles can be included on both days. Entry is free if you include your car in the Registers’ line-up but there are a few things to know:

• All vehicles must be pre-registered – no registration on the day.
• Vehicles have to be in the lineup from 10am till 5pm and cannot leave apart from for the arena drive (see below).
• If vehicles are displayed across both days you can camp and camping’s free.
• Camping is available from Thursday 2nd to Monday 6th July.
• People only attending one day cannot camp.
• As this is not a 2CVGB event, there won’t be a flea market.
• To join the event you must register in advance – see below. This is so we can provide detail to the Steam Fair organisers to publish in their programme.

If you don’t want to show your vehicle or don’t pre-register you may pay on the day as a visitor.

Excitingly, we have been given the honour of an arena drive if there are enough A-Series vehicles on site. This will be a great opportunity to talk to the people and show them all our vehicles in one central location.

There is a bar available across the weekend. This is open from Friday, all day Saturday & Sunday until close. Permanent toilets and Portaloos are available and also permanent showers next to the camping field.

The closing date for registration is 20^th May 2026 and passes will be sent to you as a pack.
