Staff from Southampton-based Snows Motor Group will be showcasing a range of cars at a major new event this weekend.

MotoFest '24 will take place on Saturday at the Silverlake Stadium, home of Eastleigh Football Club.

Snows will exhibit cars produced by 11 of the manufacturers it represents across the Southampton area, including Toyota, CUPRA, Polestar, Peugeot, Vauxhall, and Fiat.

The event will feature supercars, superbikes, classic cars, racing cars, electric cars, and motorhomes.

Other attractions will include an air ambulance simulator and a Formula One simulator for would-be racing drivers.

Funds raised at the event will be used to support Eastleigh FC’s community activities including its own charity, which makes football kit and training accessible to disadvantaged youngsters and supports football for disabled people across the region.

Eastleigh FC vice chairman Tom Coffey said he was delighted the club was hosting the inaugural MotoFest event.

‘‘We are always trying to find ways to attract a different audience to the Silverlake Stadium and we feel there is no better way to do that than by hosting this event," he said.

‘‘It’s wonderful that Snows Motor Group have agreed to get involved and we’re sure their presence will help the day be a big success."

A Snows spokesperson added: "We are thrilled to be taking part in the inaugural MotoFest event and can’t wait for the big day to arrive.

‘‘We’re really looking forward to showcasing the cars manufactured by many of our well-known manufacturer partners and we’ll have something for everyone – from city cars and superminis, to SUVs, off-roaders and a wide choice of electric vehicles.’’

Tickets for the event cost £5 for adults and £1 for children aged five and over. Under-fives are admitted free. The event starts at 11am.
