Magnificent Motors Revs Up With New Arena & Live Music Stage

Magnificent Motors is revving up the May Bank Holiday weekend with a brand new arena and live music stage joining the line-up from Saturday 2 – Sunday 3 May.

Established as one of the biggest free to visit motoring festivals on the south coast, the two-day spectacular in Eastbourne is due to welcome a range of exhibits, from modern day supercars and Italian roadsters to vintage tourers and cool retros.

Fans can expect a gleaming array of models on display including American muscle cars, Jaguars, Panthers, Porsches, Corvettes, Lotus and many more amongst the 600 vehicles exhibiting each day on the Western Lawns and Wish Tower Slopes.

Alongside the motoring displays, this year visitors can also for the first time enjoy live interviews with classic car owners in a brand new arena showcase, supported by Seahaven FM and The Hive Sound Events.

From famous owners and appearances in TV and film, to tales of restoration, visitors will be able to learn more about the people and the back stories behind some of the fascinating vehicles on display.  

Joining the new arena, a live music stage will set the soundtrack for the weekend with performances from Billy Joel tribute act Matt Armstrong, The Abba Girls tribute, rock n roll from Jackie & the Fabulous Jackettes and pop classics from Hunky Dory frontman Steve Dunnett.

Eastbourne Borough Council’s Lead Member for Tourism & Place, Cllr Jenny Williams said, “Magnificent Motors promises yet another sparkling weekend of classic and vintage vehicles, with some fascinating motoring stories to discover and some great performances from local musicians.

“Whether you’re a motoring enthusiast, a lover of all things vintage, or simply looking for some live entertainment and family fun, Magnificent Motors is the perfect excuse for a day out or a short break at the seaside this May Bank Holiday weekend.”

In addition to the classic cars on display, visitors can discover more about the latest in EV technology from local dealerships.  Funfair attractions will also be available for all the family throughout the weekend, as well as a range of retailers, food outlets and a bar.
