Groundbreaking event brings together LGBTQIA+ community and car enthusiasts at the British Motor Museum
On July 25, the British Motor Museum in Gaydon will host a groundbreaking event: *Pride on Wheels*, a gathering that unites a passion for cars with the celebration of LGBTQIA+ community diversity.
Scheduled to begin at noon, the event is open to both community members and allies, offering a welcoming space to share stories, showcase vehicles, and strengthen LGBTQIA+ visibility in the automotive world. Among the highlights is a Pride-themed car decoration contest, with prizes for the most creative entries — including the most colorful car.
“We know many car manufacturers are working hard to promote more inclusive environments, even while facing external resistance,” one of the organizers told CAR magazine. “Still, the reasons behind these efforts are increasingly being questioned, and we feel the need to reaffirm our space and visibility.”
The event’s concept is simple but powerful: to bring together people who love cars and believe in a more diverse world. “It’s a chance to connect, celebrate our vehicles, and show our collective pride,” the spokesperson added. “We want to build the most vibrant and eclectic car collection the UK has ever seen — and hopefully make lots of new friends along the way.”
In addition to the exhibition, attendees will have free access to the museum and can enjoy the food options available on-site.
