Yorkshire Big Breakfast - Easter Sunday 20th April 2014
It is that time of year again, the first big run out of the year, the Yorkshire Big Breakfast at Specialist Cars of Malton.

Easter Sunday, 20th April 2014, will see thousands of drivers meet at Malton from 8.30am for a bacon sandwich and a chance to look at some of the finest metal in the North of England.

Now in its 7th year the Yorkshire Big Breakfast has grown to become one of the North's premier multi-marque car events with every kind of sports and classic car in attendance. We've had over 3000 people attend the last events and this promises to be even bigger.

As always everyone is welcome, no matter what you drive (or ride, motorbikes are of course welcome), please pass this invite on to your car clubs, owners clubs, friends and colleagues, it is the mix of makes and models that makes this event so exciting.

As you can imagine due to the scale of the Big Breakfast we have a hefty police presence to ensure the event remains a fun, safe and enjoyable family day out. We hope everyone will help us to keep the continued running of the Yorkshire Big Breakfast viable by driving sensibly and enjoying themselves responsibly.

We're working closely with North Yorkshire Police and implementing a professionally managed traffic management plan so please follow the directions of our marshals. Once again the one way system will be in place, entering at the Malton side of the business park and leaving at the A64 side.

There is a facebook event if you want to use it to invite your friends, https://www.facebook.com/events/599393893486702/

See you then!

So what time is the kick off for this? When would you recommend we arrive by to get parked?
8.30am is the start time. It gets busy but I don't think we've ever had people unable to park at all.

By the looks of things I'll be the only one showing up on a bike frown.


Easier to spot I guess hehe.
The list is only a tiny fraction of those who turn up, don't worry, you'll not be on your own.

As JWB rightly says, a cracking day for the Yorkshire Big Breakfast, at 6.45am it is clear, dry, mild (8 degrees and warming up) and the sun is beginning to peep out, perfect weather for the Yorkshire Big Breakfast. Have a great safe drive here everyone, don't forget the police will be about and we'll see you soon.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Yorkshire Big Breakfast here at Malton on Easter Sunday, 20th April 2014.

The event was the biggest ever, we had people come from Norfolk, London and Scotland amongst others.

We are somewhat disappointed at the negativity on here from some people, including those who weren't even present. The event was one of the best natured, and certainly had the widest variety of cars present, from classic to modern. We have had tens of emails, tweets and Facebook messages thanking us for the event and saying how much they'd enjoyed the day. There was a 20 minute period mid morning when we were at capacity and had to suggest people parked in town. Minutes later the congestion had cleared, as the first people to arrive in the morning began to move on and new arrivals took their parking places.

We will not be applying an entrance criteria to future events; it is the inclusiveness that makes this event, you might be driving a £500 car but end up parking next to a £200,000 Lamborghini, a classic Bentley or another £500 car. We welcome all types of cars and their drivers to the event, and it is worth mentioning that everyone starts somewhere. We are also firmly against any kind of snobbishness or elitism. In addition it would be unworkable, set the minimum value at £20,000 and those with £19,000 cars will be offended, set it at £50,000 and those with £45,000 cars will be upset.

When we formulated the original Yorkshire Big Breakfast in 2008 the whole aim was for a casual, free to enter, enjoyable morning raising some money for charity, without the stuffiness or formality of a lot of events. Over the past six years it has grown to be one of the UK's leading multi-marque car events and we look forward to it continuing on this basis. See you in the Autumn.
