Great British Car Journey announces packed events programme for 2025
Derbyshire’s award-winning classic car museum, Great British Car Journey, has revealed its packed programme of themed classic car events for 2025.
Located at Derwent Works in Ambergate, Great British Car Journey will play host to car clubs and themed days in celebration of all things motoring.
The events are open to everyone, whether they drive a classic or not, however there is discounted entry for visitors who arrive in a vehicle corresponding to the theme.
There’s even the chance for car owners to win a prize at some of the events with the popular Masters of the Marque Awards, sponsored by Wera Tools UK Ltd, a specialist tool manufacturer, returning for a second year.
Every car at the designated Masters of the Marque events will receive a commemorative metal plaque, while winners of the awards will receive a glass trophy and items from the Wera Tools range.
Richard Usher, founder of the awards and the museum said: “Our events and the awards are purposefully quirky and quite different to anything else in the industry, very much like the museum. The turnout for all our events is always excellent and there is as much of a show in the museum car park as there is inside. Our events aim to be inclusive and open to everyone. They are a great day out for every member of the family.”
Visitors are encouraged to book in advance for discounted entry to the events. To book or find out more details about the events, visit www.greatbritishcarjourney.com/events-calendar
