Motoring Literary & Art Festival

Motoring Literary & Art Festival 2025: Postponed this year

The first Motoring Literary & Art Festival was a great success, but we want to apply the lessons we learned to make the next one even better. So we have decided to postpone the Festival this year, and will announce new dates here as soon as possible. If you have not already, please sign up to our newsletter so we can keep you informed.

​Below, to give you a taster, are some details of our inaugural 2023 event.

The display of Star Cars was described by many as stunning. With the high intensity lighting, the pit garages took on the appearance of a photographic studio.

The core aspect of the Festival was the theatre sessions. Many said to me they wished they could have attended them all, and I agree 100%. Those I did attend were absolutely brilliant. As I said several times in my closing comments and thanks to the speakers, ‘This was exactly what I had in mind for this event’.

The sessions were informative, great fun, revelationary and, sometimes, a tad controversial. Often our speakers took one behind the scenes and revealed the true story behind a car design, a race team or a driver’s success, or lack of it.

‘Thank you’ to all those who joined us.
