One Big Day at the Royal Highland Centre is giving disabled motorists, their friends and their families the chance to find out all they need to know about the Motability Scheme.
Taking place on Saturday 21 September 2019 between 9am and 4pm, the event will showcase exactly what worry-free motoring with the Motability Scheme looks like.
It’s free to attend and offers free parking for all visitors. One Big Day Edinburgh is the last event in the Motability Scheme’s 2019 programme of events which took place throughout the UK.
There will be a range of over 50 cars at the event from 25 leading manufacturers including Skoda, Volkswagen, Nissan and Fiat. In addition, over 35 scooters and powered wheelchairs will be on display, as well as over 20 adapted cars and Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs). Visitors can get advice from Motability Scheme advisors and gather useful information from Scheme partners – Kwik Fit, RAC, RSA Motability, Driving Mobility and Disabled Motoring UK.
Visitors will have the unique opportunity to test drive a wide range of vehicles, including a wide selection fitted with popular driving adaptions. Test drives can be booked at the event by visiting the test drive area and will be available on a first come first served basis.
Alison Beasley, One Big Day event manager, said: “We are excited to return to the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh for our One Big Day event. Designed to help people find the best mobility options for their needs, visitors can take a test drive, explore the wide range of vehicles, scooters, powered wheelchairs and adaptations and chat to our Scheme partners all under one roof.”
An event for the whole family to enjoy, One Big Day Edinburgh offers free children’s entertainment such as free balloon modelling, a bouncy castle, free face painting and of course the chance to say hello to the Motability Scheme mascot, Billy the Bear. Plus, on arrival all visitors will be treated to a token for a free cup of tea, coffee or a soft drink.
