British Motor Museum and Petrol & Pride grow inclusive automotive event with support from Goose Live Events

The British Motor Museum in Gaydon has been confirmed as the host venue for Petrol & Pride 2026, an inclusive automotive event for members, friends and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community, taking place on Sunday 26 July 2026 from 10:00 to 17:00.

Now in its second year, the event has grown from an industry and DEI/Pride network gathering into a larger, public-facing format. It will make use of the museum's collection, grounds and visitor facilities, with vehicle displays, music, awards and access to the museum itself. The event is open to any car, motorcycle, truck or other vehicle, regardless of age, brand or condition.

The event is delivered in partnership between Petrol & Pride and the British Motor Museum, with Goose Live Events supporting as event organiser. According to the museum, the venue offers extensive outdoor space, vehicle access, hard standing areas, onsite support and a central location near junction 12 of the M40.

Toby Batchelor, Head of Commerce at the British Motor Museum, said the venue can offer "space, access, operational support, heritage and a setting that gives the whole experience greater meaning."

All proceeds will support the British Motor Museum and an LGBTQ+ charity to be announced.
