MORE than 10,000 visitors came to this year’s Salisbury Motor Show, where a record-breaking £6,000 was raised for children’s charities.

Visitors came to the city centre on Sunday (June 16) as more than 100 cars were on display as part of a free celebration of the motoring world.

Motoring fans were treated to an incredible variety of cars on display, ranging from classic favourites dating back as far as 1920 to cutting-edge new releases from major manufacturers including Ford, BMW, MG, and Peugeot.

The event’s TT racing simulator, free face painting and retro gaming sims provided visitors with high-octane thrills, while families and enthusiasts alike enjoyed exploring the latest models and vintage treasures.

The event raised more than £6,000 for the charity Sporting Bears which raises money for children’s charities across the UK.

The show was hosted by television personality Tim Shaw, co-host of the popular motoring show CAR SOS, alongside automotive expert and fan favourite Sam Hard.

“We are absolutely thrilled with the success of this year’s Salisbury Motor Show,” said Andy Entwistle from event organisers The British Motor Show.

“The turnout has been incredible, and it’s been fantastic to see so many people enjoying the cars, the atmosphere, and the community spirit that this event brings to Salisbury.

“It’s also a great way to promote our main event in Farnborough, with hundreds of tickets sold, and we have plans to go even bigger in 2026.”

Plans are already underway for the 2026 show, promising to build on this year’s success with even more exciting features and attractions.
