There’s something magical about the rumble of a Land Rover engine and the camaraderie among enthusiasts who share this passion. It’s this spirit that inspired us to create The Great NELR Show, the North East’s first-ever dedicated Land Rover event, coming to the stunning East Durham Coast on August 22-24, 2025.
Why NELR? Why Now?
The North East has long been home to a vibrant community of Land Rover enthusiasts, yet we’ve lacked a flagship event to call our own. The Great NELR Show isn’t just another automotive event – it’s a celebration of heritage, innovation, and community spirit, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Hesleden, County Durham.
More Than Just a Show
We’re creating something special here. The Great NELR Show is designed to be a comprehensive three-day festival that brings together every aspect of Land Rover culture. From classic restorations to cutting-edge modifications, from technical workshops to family entertainment, we’re building an event that caters to everyone – whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just beginning your Land Rover journey.
A Platform for Progress
In today’s world, we recognize the importance of embracing change while honoring tradition. That’s why at The Great NELR Show we aim to feature innovative displays and discussions about the future of off-road vehicles, including new environmentally friendly technologies that align with the UK’s Net Zero targets. We believe that passion for classic vehicles can coexist with and even drive forward sustainable automotive practices.
Community at Our Core
One of our primary motivations for creating this show is to strengthen the local community. We’re proud to be working with local businesses, creating job opportunities, and providing a platform for local agriculture and crafts. The event will not only boost tourism in our beautiful region but also create lasting economic benefits for the area.
What to Expect as NELR Grows
– Live demonstrations and displays
– Evening entertainment with live music
– Family-friendly activities and attractions
– Technical workshops and learning opportunities
– Local food vendors and craft stalls
– Camping facilities for the full festival experience
A Space for Enthusiasts
Safety and responsibility are at the heart of everything we do. We’re working with experienced event management professionals to ensure The Great NELR Show provides a secure, controlled environment for enthusiasts to showcase their projects, exchange ideas, and enjoy their passion for Land Rovers.
Join Us on This Journey
With a capacity for up to 4,999 attendees, we’re planning to creating an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere where every enthusiast can feel part of something special. Whether you’re coming to display your pride and joy, learn from fellow enthusiasts, or simply soak in the atmosphere, there’s a place for you at The Great NELR Show.
We’re thrilled to have MDRS Automotive on board as our first sponsor, known for their exceptional mechanical expertise and workshop antics, and we’re looking forward to welcoming more partners who share our vision for this unique event.
