Why Visit The Mobility Roadshow?
What is the Mobility Roadshow?
The Mobility Roadshow is the UK’s premier consumer-focused event for people with disabilities or restricted mobility. It is organised by registered charity Mobility Choice.
Since 1983, the Mobility Roadshow has continued to give millions of people in the UK the invaluable opportunity to assess what mobility products and services are available to help achieve greater independence. Whether they are drivers or non-drivers, passengers, adults or children, every visitor has been able to compare and contrast the largest range of mobility products and services, all in one location and in a friendly, safe atmosphere.
The national Mobility Roadshow provides a more diverse range of features than any other regional show.

It offers, quite simply, an unforgettable event, totally focused on consumer mobility needs.

You mean I actually get to test drive wheelchair accessible and adapted vehicles?

If you are a driver looking to test drive a standard production car with hand controls or a more specialised drive-from-wheelchair vehicle, you’ll have the unique opportunity to try out adapted dual controlled vehicles accompanied by professional support drivers. Make sure you bring your driving licence with you. You can pre-register to test drive in advance nearer the time. Once registered, you’ll receive all the information by email.
