Classic Rock Society, also known as the CRS, began life in 1991, originally as a society founded in Rotherham, England at the Florence Nightingale public house, which quickly progressed to become a large and well recognised organisation helping to forward the cause of Progressive Rock, and Classic Rock. Classic Rock UK Ltd. is now a not-for-profit limited company registered in England but still uses the name "The Classic Rock Society" as a trading mark.

The Classic Rock Society uses the Oakwood Centre, Moorgate, Rotherham, England, the Herringthorpe Leisure Centre. Rotherham, England, The Boardwalk, Sheffield, England, and the Montgomery Hall, Wath-on-Dearne, England, as its venues.

Artists previously hosted by the CRS include The Strawbs, Saga, Mostly Autumn, Karnataka, Rick Wakeman, Pallas, Celtus, The Flower Kings, IQ and Pendragon.

Directors are Martin Hudson, Sharon Hudson, Bernard Law, Crimes of Passion member Kris Hudson-Lee (no relation) and Strawbs members Toby Horton and Dave Cousins. President is Yes member Rick Wakeman.

Previous Directors have been Paul Allwood, Jennifer Allan, and Terry Craven - all of whom were founding members of the original society.
