Here are some of the shows postponed or cancelled at British Motor Museum in Gaydon

With the British Motor Museum in Gaydon now closed due to Covid-19, the museum team has had to make the difficult decision to postpone or cancel some of the upcoming shows.

The intention of the Museum is, where possible, to postpone rather than cancel shows, whilst consistently adhering to government advice.

Shows set to take place later in June and July will be reviewed in the coming weeks.

Tom Caren, show manager at the British Motor Museum said: “It is disappointing to have to change the dates of so many of our shows but in these unprecedented circumstances we are prioritising everyone’s welfare and looking to run the shows where possible.

"The British Motor Museum would like to thank everyone for their support and send everyone our best wishes.

"We look forward to delivering our first class shows when we can safely do so.”

Here are some of the cancellations and postponements so far:

~ The Gaydon Land Rover Show which was scheduled to take place on May 9 to May 10 and has been moved to August 1 to August 2.

~ The UK Slot Car Festival was cancelled by the organiser and it is due to return for its 11th year in 2021.

~ The Jaguar Breakfast Meet in May has been cancelled but is currently scheduled to return to the Museum in July.

~ The Banbury Run has been postponed, which was due take place on May 31 has been moved to to August 16.

~ The Classic and Vintage Commercial Show has been postponed - due to take place on June 13 to June 14- and has been moved to August 8 to August 9

Tickets for cancelled events will be refunded and processed over the next few weeks.

For postponed events, all sold tickets will be valid for the new dates.
