Get ready for a brand-new, one-day celebration of all things air-cooled. The People’s Air-Cooled Show is an exciting new event dedicated to the Volkswagen and Porsche air-cooled community - a show truly for the people.Bought to you by The British Motor Museum and the team behind Midlands Air-cooled Swap Meet.
The main show area is in the extensive outside car park and grounds of the main British Motor Museum building. Every air-cooled vehicle that arrives and has paid the £13 advance entry fee (per adult and £7 per child) gets to display their vehicle and becomes part of the show.
Your entry also includes admission to the world-class British Motor Museum collection, making this an unmissable day out for motor enthusiasts, families, and fans alike.
You will be able to enter your air-cooled vehicle to the show as an exhibitor on the day (if space is available), but on the day entry is more expensive, so pre-booking is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.
You can of course still come along and enjoy the show even if you are not in an air-cooled VW or Porsche. There is a large car park adjacent to the museum where you can park then walk over to the main show ground area. You can purchase visitor tickets at standard museum entry prices (we recommend that exhibitors and visitors book online in advance for the best value tickets).
Entry to The People’s Air-cooled Show and The British Motor Museum is as follows:
Adult: £18 (advance) £21 (on day)
Concession: £16 (advance) £19 (on day)
Child: £9 (advance) £10 (on day)
Children under 5: Free
Expect a full day packed with:
• Stunning air-cooled car displays
• Traders and a bustling swap meet
• Food and drink vendors
• Engaging talks and live entertainment.
And much more to be announced.
