From the fast and the furious to the luxurious and limited, cars of all shapes and sizes will be congregating in Newcastle for the city’s 2ndannual NE1 Newcastle Motor Show on the weekend of the 9th and 10th July.
This year, nine of the top north east’s motoring brands will be bringing their show-stopping exhibits to the festival to be displayed in the Brand Display zone at the top of Grey Street, around Grey’s Monument. The dealerships Aston Martin, Bentley and Porsche, Jaguar, Tesla, Infiniti, Lloyd BMW and Mill Volvo, as well as Enterprise Rent-a-car with their luxurious and unusual rental offerings, have all promised to scour their forecourts and beyond for truly remarkable vehicles for the event. The event will give the public a rare opportunity to get up close to the cars, many previously only shown at VIP invitation-only motoring events.
In addition to the new and luxurious models, the Motor Show will provide a stage for vintage and classic vehicles. Another new addition to this year’s festival is ‘Screen on the Green’, an open-air cinema that will be positioned on Old Eldon Square for the duration of the celebrations. The large screen will broadcast the Formula 1 British Grand Prix live from Silverstone and during the breaks in the F1 action, children’s films with a car theme and classic car movies.
Fanzone areas on Grainger Street provide fun, free things for young people including a treasure trail, face painting and the Doodlebug, a one off, customised blackboard car.
The event runs from 10am – 4pm each day
