One Big Day
Motability's One Big Days are over for another year!
A record-breaking number of visitors turned out to enjoy the fun at our four One Big Day events in 2010.
The free family-themed days held at Yorkshire Air Museum, the RBS Williams F1 Conference Centre in Oxfordshire, Brands Hatch Race Circuit in Kent and Manchester United Football Stadium during July and August attracted more visitors than ever before, demonstrating how disabled motorists and their families are realising the benefits a car, scooter or powered wheelchair can offer. The Yorkshire Air Museum event was a particular success, with visitor numbers hitting over 1,600.
Each event gives guests the chance to meet our advisors first hand and see a range of cars from different manufacturers and dealerships as well as a selection of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles and adaptations available. This year, the events also featured a range of scooter and powered wheelchair dealers.
Event organiser Alison Cook said:
"The One Big Day events this summer were a great success as they are such a fantastic opportunity to bring our experts face to face with new people interested in Motability. Everyone appreciated the chance to see lots of cars, adaptations and Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles in one location, whilst having trained specialists on hand to answer any questions and offer advice. The events were held at great venues this summer which means our guests enjoyed a fun day out too"
Other attractions on the day included free access to each venues museum or behind-the-scenes tours, childrens entertainment, including appearances from Billy the Motability Bear, free refreshments and a free prize draw to win £500 worth of Love2shop vouchers.
