The British Motor Museum’s informal 'Gaydon Gathering' events, aimed at motoring enthusiasts, returned on Tuesday 9 April from 5pm – 8:30pm. The events, which are free to attend, take place outside on the arenas on the second Tuesday of each month. Over 500 vehicles participated at the Gatherings last year, and there was an impressive mix of vehicle types, makes, and models. 

Pre-booking is essential, and tickets will be released online a few weeks before each event and announced on social media. Tickets for the 14 May event are now available and can be booked online free of charge. The dates for the rest of the Gatherings are 11 June, 9 July, 13 August, 10 September, and 8 October.

In addition to providing an opportunity for like-minded motoring enthusiasts to display their vehicles, each Gathering features the 'Gaydon Garage' at 6:30pm when the workshop doors open to reveal one of the many unique vehicles from the collection before it’s driven around the site. News as to which car will emerge from the garage are posted on the social media channels in the run-up to the events.

Tom Caren, Show Manager at the British Motor Museum, stated, “After a winter of Museum Late events, we can’t wait to host our ‘Gaydon Gatherings’ outside again! The events are a firm favourite with petrol-heads and have always proved to be immensely popular. Each month until October, we will be running this regular meet-up where motoring fans can indulge their passion with a burger and drink, hopefully in the spring sunshine!” 

Display vehicles will be parked in front of the Museum, and there will be separate free parking for those visitors who aren’t displaying.

Dogs are welcome on leads. Please note that the Museum itself will not be open for the evening gatherings. For more information and to book your FREE tickets for May’s Gaydon Gathering, visit https://www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk/whats-on/gaydon-gathering-may
