A GREAT FAMILY DAY OUT



























In previous years, the public was treated to an extensive programme of parades, exhibitions, demonstrations, and supercar rides. Alongside competitions, live music, and family activities at the Bath Festival of Motoring, 2023 is already looking like being bigger and better than ever.
100’s of exhibits
At the heart of the festival is a wide-ranging display of classic, vintage, and veteran cars and motorcycles. Vehicle owners and motor enthusiasts from across the South West and beyond will gather to showcase their prize collections.
As well as the main display, parades will take place twice a day over the weekend in the central arena. Visitors will be able to see and hear the vehicles in all their glory, alongside detailed commentary about their histories.

Lombard rally bath
We welcome the Lombard Rally back to Bath for the 6th time.
The Rally has attracted drivers from many counties and was considered the toughest in the World. The rally was frequently based in Yorkshire, but the sponsors wanted its base in other parts of the UK, and Bath was selected for 1976, 1980, 1983, and 1986.





West Wilts Society of model engineers
We are fortunate this year to welcome the West Wilts Society of Model Engineers, who will be offering rides on their portable steam train track.


The Old Arthouse
Our new header was this year was designed by Tom Glover at The Old Art House, we ask Tom how it all began, “In 2019, shortly after moving into my first home in part of a converted old school, I took a leap to leave my job and began following my passion for creating products, art, and working on design projects. I started taking commissions for whatever I could get my hands on and built my confidence, customer base, and skills”
“Over three years later, my art style has evolved to a point where lots of my work looks like old fashioned poster pieces. This, along with my “Old School” setting gives my business its name. A lot of my customers are local people and business owners wanting a poster-style portrait of their shopfronts, cars or houses. I love working with them and also work to create my own F1-themed artwork on the side!”
“My aim is to develop further, help other aspiring artists and keep creating the work I want to see!”
“I hope you enjoy some of my creations”
Prints of this year’s Bath Festival of Motoring design are available on his website or at the show.
