Pride of Longbridge 2025 : 20 Years On

An event for the local community, ex-workforce and car enthusiasts to come together to celebrate local car manufacturing history, twenty years on since the collapse of MG Rover. 

This free annual event sees thousands of cars and visitors descend on Cofton Park, next to the site of the once sprawling Longbridge car plant.

Any vehicle with a Longbridge link is allowed on to the park itself – from historic early Austin models to iconic Minis, through 80s and 90s models like the Metro and Montego, the popular Rover 25 and 75, right through to present day MG Motor models, still designed at the Lowhill Lane design centre.

Locals can celebrate the legacy of the Longbridge factory, so vital to the area over the years. Longbridge car owners past and present can get together with like-minded enthusiasts and ex-workers can bump into old friends and have a catch up.

There are also community stalls, face painting and food and drink on site.

PLEASE NOTE: Only cars with a Longbridge link will be allowed on to the park. On street parking is available around the park for other visitors.
