The Bath Festival of Motoring and Music offers an opportunity to experience iconic automotive exhibits spanning decades.

From super cars, to classic cars, from motorcycles to other motoring genres – there is something to appeal to every enthusiast – with new exhibits added each year.

Attendees of all ages and interests can get up close and personal with a wide range of vehicles, experience the owners’ product passion and learn about their history in a safe, fun and inspiring environment.

This year’s festival will also boast even more live music performances across two dedicated stages plus a range of hospitality stalls for ‘pitstop’ relaxation, ‘refuelling’ and admiring all things automative. 

This longstanding festival has enjoyed a successful history and, as with previous years, will be held at Walcot Rugby Club, opposite the Lansdown Park and Ride, so easy for access with camping available to those travelling or wishing to make a weekend of it.

Beneficiaries will include the Bath and Wiltshire Air Ambulance and Freewheelers Blood Bikes, supporting vital services in the community.

Rotarian Peter Edwards

It is with great sadness that we pay tribute to our dear friend and fellow Rotarian Peter Edwards.

In 2012, Peter inspired and drove the founding of the Pageant of Motoring, which, over the years, developed into The Bath Rotary Festival of Motoring. He worked tirelessly to make the annual event a success, raising tens of thousands of pounds for charities in the process.

Peter will be greatly missed by everyone involved in the Festival. He was an inspiration, and without him, there would be no Festival of Motoring for us to enjoy.
