You are all invited to attend our annual countryside open day.

There will be a large marquee with several stalls (craft stalls and charity stalls from both local and national environmental charities). Visitors can also enjoy an arena which will accommodate displays over the course of the day, including maypole dancing, TKT Cheerleaders, a falconry display and a Tai Chi demonstration.

Join in on the fun at our dog show and enter your own trusty companion. Various different categories are in place to accommodate all different ages, shapes and sizes of dog. Prizes and a rosette are awarded.

Finally, stock up on tasty, fresh local produce when visiting the farmer's market area.

Proudly sponsored by TMS Motor Group and made possible by all our town-centre businesses, Hinckley BID’s Annual Motor Show is back for 2024 by popular demand!

All classic vehicles and vehicles of special interest are welcome. Over 800 owners from all over the Midlands and beyond filled Hinckley Town Centre and Argents Mead at our show last year, to show off their beautiful and carefully restored machines to a crowd of several thousand.
