‍
Once again, this year, we’re teaming up with Sporting Bears, bringing together a community of dedicated classic, sports and supercar enthusiasts who willingly offer their amazing cars to provide the unforgettable Dream Rides passenger experiences. With an eclectic range of around 40 cars available for Dream Rides each day, the Sporting Bears garage forms an exciting moving motor show, whether you are a spectator marvelling at the stunning cars or going out for a ride in the car of your dreams, our mission is to create memories, put smiles on faces, and leave you with an unforgettable experience of your day at The British Motor Show.

Through this partnership, we’ll be offering a unique interactive automotive experience. Show visitors will be treated to a diverse range of iconic vehicles, ranging from celebrated classics to cutting-edge supercars with the opportunity to take a passenger ride in the vehicle of your choice.

Sporting Bears Dream Rides allows you and your family to experience a 10 mile passenger ride in the car of your dreams, for a minimum donation, creating lasting memories while raising money for children's charities. Sporting Bears members freely give their time, fuel, and maintenance of their cars to ensure that 100% of your donation goes directly to the charities they support.

At The British Motor Show last year, the ‘Bears’ raised over £42,000, 100% of which went to charity. And in 2024 they’re hoping to do even better.

By taking part in Dream Rides, visitors will have the opportunity to contribute to charitable causes supported by Sporting Bears. Generous donations from attendees will directly benefit children’s charities, enabling the ‘Bears’ to continue providing vital assistance to those youngsters in need.

Established in 1989 Sporting Bears Motor Club are a group of UK wide car enthusiasts with the goal of raising much needed funds for children’s charities. In 2023 the ‘Bears’ raised over £270,000 and have now raised over £3,300,000 in total. Volunteers, partners and sponsors support enables them to ensure that 100% of all donations made go directly to supported charities.
