Dates announced for Mobility Roadshow 2012

30 September 2011 - Following another outstanding event at this popular Midlands venue, the Mobility Roadshow 2012 is returning to the East of England Showground, Peterborough over three days - Thursday 21st, Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd June.  Put it in your diary now.

“Feedback from both visitors and exhibitors has once again indicated that this is one of the most popular venues in nearly 30 years of Roadshow history, said Jacqui Jones, Executive Director, Mobility Choice. “We still intend to move around the country in future and are currently developing plans for 2013 to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary; but our requirements for cost-effective exhibition space, a suitable level car parking area for thousands of Blue Badge holders and a safe test drive track are very demanding - and the Showground has proved an extremely successful venue in meeting those demands.”

First-time visitors are always surprised at the wide choice of adapted vehicles, conversions, motoring accessories, scooters and bikes, products for the home and children, clothing, gadgets and gizmos that are available. There is also an excellent mix of charities, information services, and organisations offering advice and products that include insurance, accessible holidays and accommodation, fitness and therapies.

“The best part for me was the fantastic array of interesting converted vehicles and adaptations, but the whole show fulfilled all my expectations.” This comment from one visitor to the 2011 show represents the sentiments of many others received by the organisers.

Celebrating the London Paralympics there are plans next year for an even wider range of interactive game activities in the Sports Arena and for an expanded the Cyclefest feature, which is now firmly established in the Roadshow programme.

The new Design Zone launched this year will also be repeated and developed. Here hundreds of visitors voted for their favourite new products (including some at early concept stage) and had their say about products they love or hate, or would like to change in some way.  This has proved to be invaluable feedback for the designers of future mobility products.

As always, parking and entry are free. The East of England Showground is located alongside the A1M, offering excellent north/south access from London and the south-east, the Midlands, East Anglia, the north-east and beyond. It is 15 minutes from Peterborough Station where free accessible courtesy shuttle buses will operate.
