The British Motor Show is the UK’s flagship consumer car festival, showcasing everything on wheels from classic beauties and next-gen EVs to supercars, drifters, and stunt performers. It’s a three-day extravaganza packed with hands-on driving experiences, live entertainment, tech talks, and stunt spectacles.
With a tradition dating back to 1903, It was held mainly at venues like Olympia and later the NEC Birmingham before the original format ended in 2008. The modern incarnation launched in 2021 at Farnborough International and in just four shows (2021–2024), it has grown to attract around 60,000 visitors annually.
The 2025 British Motor Show runs from August 15 to 17, 2025 at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre in Hampshire.
“We’ve really pushed the boat out this year for new content, while making sure that firm favourites from previous years are back...with The UK Wrap Championships, Alpine F1 esport sims, the amazing Supercar Paddock and more. In honesty, everyone will have their own MUST SEE list.” says Andy Entwistle, Chief Executive of Automation and the man behind the British Motor Show.
As the show roars to life tomorrow, 234DRIVE will be on the ground, bringing you front row access and real time coverage of major unveilings so even if you’re not at Fanborough, you won’t miss a thing.
