THE GREAT BRITISH LAND ROVER SHOW BATH AND WEST SHOWGROUND 29-30 JULY 2023 A new show – with a name you already know and trust!

The Great British Land Rover Show has become a regular fixture in the calendar, with a late autumn date that makes it the perfect way to bring down the curtain on the show season. It’s the big pre-Christmas bash and, of course, it has the benefit of being held indoors, meaning it’s guaranteed not to be wiped out by the weather.

For a while now, though, the show’s organisers have been keen to add an outdoor version of the GBLRS and make the most of the summer. We all like getting out there in the sun, after all – and you could never get a better excuse than a shared love of Land Rovers for doing just that. So back during lockdown, we were already making plans – and those plans will finally come to fruition when GBLRS Bath and West opens its doors on 29 July and our first two-day event becomes a reality.

So, a new show. There’s been a few of those down the years, some better than others. We’re confident that this new addition to the roster of Great British Land Rover Shows will be a good ‘un, though – because all we’re doing is taking the formula that’s worked for us before and applying it to a new setting, If you’ve liked the GBLRS at Stoneleigh, you’ll love it at Bath and West, too!

As you’d expect, there’ll be a wide range of trade stands in a variety of show areas. And also as you’d expect, we’ve reserved a section for the clubs that are the lifeblood of the Land Rover scene.

This time, though, rather than signing off for the winter, you’ll be meeting old and new friends beneath the warm sun (fingers crossed) and partying the night away around the barbecue in the camp site. Yes, our first two-day show means our first proper social event,

The venue has a bar and restaurant as well as all the facilities you need to make a proper weekend of it.

Also on the Saturday evening, the All Wheel Drive Club will be running a Land Rover Trial for those willing to pit their wits against the terrain. And during the days of the show, the off-road area will be given over to a drive-round route – also marshalled by the AWDC and sure to be as popular as ever. It’s suitable for Land Rovers of every kind, from a basic old Series truck to a fancy new one bristling with electronic everything, and there’ll be marshals to keep you right if you’re new to the off-road game – and tow you out if it all goes wrong!

We’ve got VIP Land Rover parking, too, where you can pay to park right next to the show hall – meaning your vehicle becomes part of the show for others to admire!
