Pop-up show planned for Portsmouth


The first PopUp Motor Show of the current season opens at Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth, on December 1, and will run until Christmas Eve.

It’s the first of four PopUp Motor Shows, which will take place at venues around the country between now and the main show taking place next summer.

As well as featuring the latest new models from a selection of local retailers, the show will include a number of other interesting cars, gifts and interactive activities, along with the chance for visitors to win a car courtesy of the Show’s headline sponsor, cinch.

The free-to-enter exhibition will use 5,000 square feet of retail space, with expected footfall of over four million people visiting the shopping centre in the run-up to Christmas.

The British Motor Show CEO, Andy Entwistle, who is behind the event said: “Think of the PopUp Motor Show as a creche for car fans, kids and car buyers whilst out shopping – as we head towards the first Christmas since lockdown restrictions have been lifted and we look forward to spending time with our families.

“The PopUp Motor Show is a great place for people to come along and get some advice, buy essential Christmas gifts for the car fan in their life and meet likeminded enthusiasts as we build up to the big event next summer, which is set to build on the staggering success of 2021.”

In 2022, The British Motor Show will take place from August 18-21 at Farnborough International.
