RYE CLASSICS: monthly classic car meet in rye

Welcome to Rye Classics - our growing monthly gathering of classic cars, motorcycles, coffee, and community on the Rye riverside at Aubrey Halls.

Held on the last Sunday of each month, Rye Classics brings together enthusiasts from across East Sussex, Kent, Sussex, London and beyond, welcoming everything from cherished pre-war machines and iconic sports cars to classic motorcycles and interesting automotive curiosities.

Set against the backdrop of Rye’s historic surroundings and the riverside setting of Aubrey Halls, Rye Classics is designed to feel relaxed and welcoming rather than formal. Expect rows of beautiful cars, excellent coffee, delicious breakfast, music, artisan food and a friendly atmosphere where conversations happen naturally.

Whether you arrive in a concours-level classic, a cherished daily driver, or simply come to enjoy the atmosphere with family and friends, everyone is welcome.

  • Pre-1980 classic cars and motorcycles outside

  • Artisan coffee and fresh pastries

  • Local food vendors

  • Riverside setting
