Volkswagen is reinforcing its commitment to the Motability Scheme by attending a number of events this summer aimed at showcasing its most popular models to a wide audience at key locations across the UK.
Starting at EventCity in Manchester on Friday 13 May and Saturday 14 May, The Big Event is the flagship in the summer programme of ‘One Big Day’ events and will allow disabled customers to experience products from more than 30 different car makers.
Volkswagen has previously attended One Big Day events in Exeter and Yorkshire, with successful results. Commenting on the programme, Volkswagen’s Business Development Manager, Lianne McKnight, said: “We had a lot of interest in our vehicles in Manchester and Exeter and are looking forward to taking part in this year’s events.
“They are a great opportunity to showcase our popular Polo, as well as the Golf, Scirocco, Touran and Passat Estate to Motability Scheme customers and their families. The visitors to the event can get all the information they need from our trained Motability advisors, as well as enjoying a great day out.”

- Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn – Friday 3 June and Saturday 4 June
- Westpoint, Exeter – Saturday 16 July

Free to attend and held mainly indoors, the One Big Day events offer disabled people the chance to find out more about the range of cars, adaptations, scooters and powered wheelchairs available to lease through the Motability Scheme. Visitors can test drive a selection of cars, including some fitted with popular driving adaptations, talk to Motability Scheme advisors and gather a range of helpful information while enjoying a fun day out.
