Great event and atmosphere as always. Would have loved a bit of seating maybe near the food. As a bonus, a mobile car valeting company would have been a great thing to have for those who'd come a long... See more

Replacing the NEC/Earls Court Motorshow

A really nice day out. Unfortunately I did not succeed in being chosen to have my car as a display car but still got there at opening time at 9am. One of those odd shows where the actual “car park” area is just as good as the main show area as so much amazing machinery and design on show! Cars you’ve always loved or those you have read about but never seen before. What really helped this year was the weather. In previous years when it’s been grey,blustery and a bit rainy, this mostly outdoor show, apart from the main hangar, may not be the nicest place to be. But that can’t be helped. Enough food choice for us on site and plenty of toilets dotted about.

Pistonheads Annual Show

This is the first time I've been to the Pistonheads annual exhibition / show, and what a great day out it was. Very well organised, a fantastic array of cars on display with some very knowledgeable enthusiast to talk to, plus interesting Live Stage show's. Looking forward to next years event.

The site was huge, very well organised with lots of really interesting and fabulous cars to see. The talks in the stage area were also interesting. Great day out. Looking forward to next year.

Very well organised event 👏

Incredibly well organised prior to the event with last minute updates for those entrants showing their cars.
Good people directing cars on the day to exhibition parking.
Very helpful and happy staff on the Pistonheads stand.
Invite more merchants for automotive products and merchandise.
More food & drink vendors. The queues were long.
Free coffee, however waiting in line for 20+ minutes was a bit of a bind, you need more than 2 people and machines.

A very impressive event but the food prices!

A very impressive event, however the food prices were nothing short of a rip-off. £6.50 for a single ice cream cone with tiny flake! £4.50 for a portion of chips! £12 for a cheeseburger! Really?

You are pricing out families.
