IN PICTURES – Motor show wows crowds in Redditch

CROWDS braved the rain and flocked to Redditch town centre last weekend for the annual classic car show.

The event, once again, transformed the town into a vibrant showcase of automotive excellence, attracting enthusiasts and families from across the region.

Organised by Redditch BID, in partnership with Shakespeare Rally Promotions, the 2026 event was the biggest yet, with an expanded two-day format.

Visitors enjoyed a wide range of vehicles – from modern performance cars to timeless classics – with each day offering something different.

Saturday featured vehicles from 1990 onwards, including modern, modified and high performance cars. On the Sunday, there were pre-1990 vehicles – from vintage classics to early 20th century motoring icons.

The Dino Bus experience, bringing dinosaurs to life through interactive exhibits, educational activities and fantastic photo opportunities for families, was a major highlight and the DeLorean was also a huge crowd favourite.

Muj Rahman, Redditch BID manager, said the motor show exceeded all expectations and visitor feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

“It was fantastic to see the town centre filled with families, enthusiasts and visitors enjoying everything the event had to offer.

“The atmosphere over the weekend was incredible and we are extremely grateful to all the exhibitors, volunteers, partners, businesses, and emergency services who helped make the event such a success.

“Events like this are incredibly important in driving footfall, supporting local businesses and showcasing Redditch as a vibrant destination.”

Redditch BID thanked all exhibitors, traders, sponsors, volunteers, stewards, security teams, medics and operational partners, including Kingfisher Redditch, for safely delivering the event.
