THE UK’s biggest annual event for disabled motorists is all set to take place in Telford, Shropshire next year.

For 30 years the hugely popular three-day Mobility Roadshow event has been held at various venues across the south and east of England.

Now tens of thousands of disabled motorists in the North West, North Wales and the Midlands will have a much shorter trek to the event.

Jacqui Jones, executive director of Mobility Choice, the charity that organises the event, said: “We are very excited to be hosting the 30th anniversary Mobility Roadshow at Telford.

“We’ve had three excellent years at Peterborough Arena, a fine venue for the show, but it’s time to move on again to give visitors from other parts of the country the chance of easier access to the event.

“We are looking forward to the new opportunities that Telford offers, including all-indoor exhibition space.”

For the first time in the show’s history, test drives will take place on public roads around the venue, offering visitors a more authentic driving experience. Jaccqui added: “The innovation behind some of the robotic products we saw at this year’s Roadshow is light-years away from what was available back in 1983.

“We will have much to celebrate next year.”

The Mobility Roadshow was the first event to offer opportunities to test drive production model vehicles with a variety of adaptations, enabling people with disabilities the rare opportunity to ‘try before you buy’.

Next year’s event takes place at the Telford International Centre from June 27-29.
