Stoke City Big Motor Show

6-7 September, Britannia Stadium.  Free entry.

The Stoke City Big Motor Show returns this September, after a good show last year.  I highly recommend this - there's lots to see and some stuff to do as well.  There'll be cars - new, used and vintage - as well as some emergency vehicles (last year, the fire service and police force attended); there were various sideshows and a funfair, and various stands with freebies - mugs, pens, hats, and all that stuff.  Yes, there may be a few attempts to sell you a new car, but if you're pushing a pushchair or holding your child's hand, you're unlikely to get too much of a hard sell.  The car park at Britannia Stadium is huge, and most of it was filled with cars of one type or another.  There's also plenty of visitor parking, and access is easy.

According to the Stoke City FC website, Staffordshire University have also confirmed their attendance at the event, commenting, "Staffordshire University Racing will be in attendance at the Big Motor Show held at the Britannia Stadium on the 6th and 7th of September.  On display will be several students prepared race cars and the stunning Mosler GT900 currently heading the championship in Britcar. Come along to the race truck and pit garage display where you can talk to staff and current students about our activities, discuss career aspirations, University courses or just have a look at the stunning cars on display."




The Stoke Sentinel website also has an article on the motor show.
