Bromley Pageant of Motoring

Bromley Pageant of Motoring returns to Norman Park, Bromley, on Sunday 13th June, with celebrations for the centenary of the Alfa Romeo and the 75th anniversary of the Aston Martin Owners Club. Held in association with specialist insurance company Footman James, the Pageant has more than 3,000 classic cars and bikes on show and attracts around 30,000 visitors.

The Pageant is the biggest one-day classic vehicle show in the World and features an automotive extravaganza of classic cars, bikes, trucks, motorcycles, tractors, stationary engines and much more. From family favourites through to thoroughbred exotic sports cars, there is a marquee to suit every passion, from Morris to Porsches, Triumphs to Jaguars. It’s a truly international show with Italian exotica, American Muscle, Japanese performance as well as the best of British coming together for the ultimate ‘great day out’.

The popular ‘One Make’ section continues where vehicles of each make and model can be entered and parked together. From Mini’s to Ferraris, around 1,000 cars featured in this area last year. Entries are now open for this incredible feature and entry for the vehicle is free (both driver and passenger require tickets) and includes a free show programme and plaque.

The organisers are continuing to expand the classic bike area and are welcoming more bikes to the show this year than ever before by offering free space to classic bike clubs. Also individual owners can get in for just £5. This area has constantly grown over the past few years and is now a significant part of the show.

In the main arena, host and compere Jerry Thurston from C4’s ‘Salvage Squad’ will be at the show working on a special restoration project as well as bringing together a fantastic display of Allards to marquee the 100th birthday of founder Sydney Allard. He’s already got three of his own but is looking for more! He will also host a number of parades of exceptional vehicles from throughout the years as well as introducing other entertainment which is still to be confirmed.

With a huge Cars for Sale area, the Pageant also hosts one of the biggest classic vehicle trade shows in the UK with hundreds of Autojumble and trade stands selling the latest products, parts, services and new vehicles on display.

Bromley Pageant is a superb celebration of this wonderful way of life - a true flavour of a by-gone age and provides one of the best opportunities available to soak up Bromley's unique atmosphere of friendly club stands, displays and fellow enthusiasts.

Ticket prices are £10.50 for Adults when booking in advance with Senior Citizens tickets costing £7.50 and just £4.50 for children. There is also a family ticket on offer for two adults and two children at just £25.50, again when booked in advance. Show opens from 9.30am and parking is free.
