Driving Experiences at the British Motor Show
The British Motor Show not only brings you the best car display and live action, it gives you the chance to get involved and behind the wheel, no matter how old you are! With more driving experiences in 2024 than ever before, we’ve got something for the whole family to enjoy.
And to make it even easier to plan you day and make sure you don’t miss out, we’ve launched advance bookings for both Young Drivers and Sporting Bears Dream Rides. Check out the details of both below, as well as just some of the other driving experiences available this year.
Under 17's Driving Experience
Young Drivers drivers gives 10-17 years olds the chance to have their first taste of life behind the wheel of a real car for the first time, with more cars and more slots available. They will also be bringing their Firefly Bugs – funky little fully-electric Firefly cars for 4 to 10 year-olds to have fun in.
Young Driver specialises in teaching 10-17 year-olds how to drive. The scheme has delivered more than 900,000 driving lessons at 70 private venues across the UK. The emphasis is on safety and fun, allowing youngsters more time to perfect driving skills such as gear changes, braking, parking and steering without the pressures of public roads. For more information go to www.youngdriver.com
Running from 10am to 5:30pm each day, these lessons are extremely popular and with limited advanced bookings available, pre-booked sessions sell out fast. Visitors can also book on the day, but are advised to head for the Young Drivers stand early to avoid disappointment
In their session, your young driver will be under the full supervision of a qualified instructor in a car fitted with dual controls as part of Young Drivers commitment to being with you to support all the family on that journey to getting a driver’s licence, with some fun for the grown-ups and littlest ones too along the way. Responsible learning, in a safe, controlled environment in a fun way, to nurture the future generation of safe drivers – that’s what Young Driver is all about

Firefly Experience
NEW for 2024 and just for little people aged between 4 and 10 years old, the Firefly Sport is a real car, but in miniature! Make no mistake, this fully-electric car isn’t a toy. The sporty little two-seater drives and handles just like a proper car. Younger children love driving the Firefly Sport, having fun and learning some of the basics of driving as they go.
We are not currently taking advance bookings for Firefly’s, but don’t worry there will be plenty of slots available each day, so just turn up and get you little one behind the wheel!
