Automotion Events, in partnership with Imperial Cars and Farnborough International are pleased to announce the first Cars & Christmas show will take place at Farnborough International Conference Centre in November 2020.
Following the disappointing, but necessary, rescheduling of The British Motor Show to August 2021, Automotion Events are bringing forward the launch of the regional winter spinoff event “The British Motor Show Cars & Christmas” from 2021 to the weekend of 28/29 November 2020.
Cars & Christmas will be a motor show with a difference. A magical show for families and car enthusiasts alike, packed full of live entertainment, great automotive experiences and a huge festive themed automotive marketplace and Christmas market.
Cars & Christmas will be a version of The British Motor Show with a distinctly Christmas feel.
The event will be the perfect place for visitors to find the ideal gift for the car lover in their life, see some of the latest cars on sale and enjoy a day of fantastic live entertainment in the 3000sqm arena, where Paul Swift will be bringing a festive feel to his stunt show.
There will be an 8,000sqm indoor marketplace and display hall including a zone dedicated to EV’s and our very own Retro-Electric area.
Automotion Events CEO Andy Entwistle explained, “With the decimation of the global automotive events calendar this year and the rescheduling of the main British Motor Show, we are bringing forward the launch of our winter spinoff event “The British Motor Show Cars & Christmas” from 2021 to November and December 2020. We know that car fans and families alike will be desperate to get out and enjoy some automotive based fun, we also wanted to support the UK’s suppliers and exhibitors who rely on events for their income.” He added, “We will be working closely with the venue and local government to make sure this is delivered in a safe environment and at present we are limiting the tickets to just 5,000 a day to enable us to offer social distancing at the venue.”
Andy also added, “We’re over the moon that Imperial Cars are supporting the show. We already have a great relationship with imperial cars, who sponsor the live arena at The British Motor Show and it’s great to have them as headline partner for Cars & Christmas”.
Neil Smith, Operations director at imperial cars said “It is a shame that The British Motor Show has been rescheduled to 2021 but it was done for the right reasons. Cars & Christmas ensures that car fans can still get a fix of automotive fun. We are pleased to be part of the first Cars & Christmas show as this will be a great day out for all the family and will help suppliers show their products”.
The event will be full of live action and celebrity fun including a round of Britain’s Biggest Car Quiz on the stage plus a special visit from Santa, who will decorating a Christmas tree in the live arena like it’s never been done before. Santa (AKA Paul Swift) will be joined by his troop of merry elves who will be having some fun in their sleigh too!
Other live content includes car parades in the arena, a display of robots, the chance for visitors to participate in Paul Swifts precision driving experience and under 17’s driving event, plus of course a huge Christmas market!
The organisers are encouraging visitors to secure their tickets now to avoid disappointment as only 5,000 tickets will initially be available per day, with more released when social distancing rules allow.
Even better news, the organisers are offering customers the chance to reserve their tickets for the show now, without paying a penny. Once social distancing rules are relaxed, The British Motor Show will notify those that have reserved tickets, who will have 2 days to pay for their tickets before they are released.
