At the heart of Great British Motor Shows is a passion for motoring heritage and a commitment to creating unforgettable experiences for enthusiasts, families, and the next generation of car and bike lovers. Founded by Steve Bishop, our journey began with six venues and has now grown to an impressive 14-show season, offering something for everyone who shares our love of classic vehicles and the stories they tell.
The Vision
Steve Bishop’s vision is simple: to preserve and celebrate the rich motoring history of Britain while inspiring new generations to join the community. Through meticulous planning and a dedication to excellence, Steve has expanded Great British Motor Shows into a nationwide celebration of classic cars, bikes, and motoring culture. Each event is more than a showcase—it’s a place where memories are made, stories are shared, and the love of motoring is passed down.
A Day Out for Everyone
Our shows aren’t just for classic car enthusiasts. They’re designed with families and day-trippers in mind. With live entertainment, engaging exhibits, and activities for all ages, our events are the perfect way to spend quality time together. Whether you’re marveling at a gleaming vintage Jaguar, chatting with an owner about their restoration journey, or enjoying a tasty treat from one of our local vendors, there’s something for everyone.
Supporting the Next Generation
Great British Motor Shows is proud to invest in the future of motoring by supporting young racing talents. In 2025, we’re thrilled to sponsor rising stars Henry Howarth and Maurice Henry through our Masters of Motoring initiative. Their passion, skill, and drive embody the spirit of the next generation of motoring enthusiasts, and we’re honored to help them on their journey.
Giving Back
We believe in making a difference beyond motoring. By partnering with charities across the country, we’re able to give back to communities that support us. Whether it’s fundraising for local causes or hosting charity auctions at our events, we’re committed to making a positive impact.
A Greener Future
Preserving the past doesn’t mean ignoring the future. Great British Motor Shows is taking steps to reduce our environmental impact and make our events carbon-neutral. Through carbon offsetting programs, we’re working to balance the emissions of our business and our attendees. From offering sustainable travel options to planting trees, we’re doing our part to ensure that future generations can enjoy both motoring and a healthy planet.
