Returning with a vengeance in 2025: Bromley Pageant
The much-anticipated Bromley Pageant of Motoring is set to make a grand comeback on Sunday, 27th July 2025, at the South of England Showground in Ardingly, West Sussex[1][2][3][4]. After a brief hiatus in 2024, this iconic event will return with a revitalised spirit, offering a full day of classic car displays and motoring entertainment for all the family[2][3].
This year's event will be the first time the Pageant is held at the South of England Showground, a spacious venue located outside London's ULEZ zone and boasting excellent accessibility, including parking, disability access, toilet blocks, and indoor and outdoor trade stands[1]. Camping will be available on the Saturday evening before the event[1].
The show will feature a variety of club displays, special presentations, the famous One Make Parking areas, an auto-jumble, trade stalls, local food vendors, and a dedicated kids' zone for safe and engaging fun[1]. Over 130 owners' clubs will be participating, showcasing an array of makes and models, including Morris, MG, Ford, Vauxhall, Jaguar, Triumph, Toyota, Subaru, BMW, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, and many more[5].
One of the highlights of the show is a 1904 Singer, the oldest car on display[6]. The Tigers Children's Motorcycle Display Team, with riders aged 5-16, will perform twice in the live arena, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event[2].
Tickets for the 2025 Bromley Pageant of Motoring will go on sale from 1st August 2024 and can be booked via the official Bromley Pageant website[1]. For car club members, there is a dedicated area with booking codes available, and early bird pricing is offered until 31st January 2025. General admission prices start around £12, with some options for discounted or early bird rates[4].
The event is presented by an unspecified platform and has backing from Old Glory magazine[5]. For further information, visit bromleypageant.com, email [email protected], or call 07375 554420.
It’s important to note that the Bromley Motor Show on 6th July 2025 in Bromley High Street is a separate, free event showcasing classic and collectible vehicles in the town centre and not connected with the Pageant at Ardingly[5]. Approximately 2,500 classic vehicles will be showcased at the Pageant, making it a must-visit for any classic car enthusiast[2]. The show promises to be a celebration of motoring heritage, aiming to return to its former glory with a bigger and better motoring show that covers all eras and makes of classic cars[1].
In the spirit of celebrating motoring heritage, the revitalized Bromley Pageant of Motoring will offer a unique blend of home-and-garden lifestyle and classic cars, with camping available the night before the event. On this family-friendly day, visitors can expect a diverse array of club displays, trade stalls, local food vendors, and a dedicated kids' zone, all set at the spacious South of England Showground.
