Roadster! to attend The Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show
Roadster! Magazine - the motoring magazine for kids who love the road, is delighted to announce it will have a stand at The Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, where it will be celebrating the 2nd anniversary of this unique children’s magazine project.
Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2024, the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show is the UK’s largest and best-loved classic motor show. With a record 330+ clubs and 350+ traders (including the UK's biggest indoor autojumble) there will be over 3,000 motors on display - the most at any event in the UK!
Celebrating its 2nd anniversary at the show, Roadster! is a motoring magazine project for kids… by kids! Aimed primarily at KS2/KS3 children, The magazine seeks to educate, inspire and entertain its young readers by combining fun features about cars, road safety and motoring matters with underlying educational values.
Roadster! started life in Autumn 2022, when eight year-old Sam thought there should be an automotive magazine aimed at children like himself who love cars. He put pen to paper and started making one of his own, with the help of his Dad. Over the course of six issues, the project has evolved into a non-profit social enterprise, with Sam as Editor-in-Chief, his Dad as adult support and assistant, and plenty of other parent/child helpers getting involved.
Publishing three times a year (aligned to spring, summer and winter school holidays), Roadster! is not only written for children, but it also offers connected learning opportunities FOR children. It provides opportunities for children to get hands-on with the automotive industry and learn crucial life skills through the creation and production of the magazine.
The Roadster! stand will be in the new DadCars Family Zone at this year’s 40th anniversary event. The DadCars Family Zone will offer a welcoming hub for families. Free activities on offer in the zone will include classic car colouring in and car treasure hunts to encourage children to spend time looking at the wonderful cars on display with their parents.
As part of its own anniversary celebrations, Roadster! will be launching a special new “best of” edition of the magazine at the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show. This commemorative edition will include the best features from the past six issues and will showcase what makes the magazine such a unique project for kids.
The magazine will also present a final opportunity to enter two competitions currently running in Roadster! The Dream Car Design competition offers kids an opportunity to showcase their artistic skills to win a possible prize of artist supplies. The Young Driver competition offers kids a chance to win a full lesson with the driving school for under 17s. Both competitions run until the end of November.
As well as opportunities to purchase the magazine, the Roadster! stand will also include a battery operated slot car circuit, and an opportunity for children to display their favourite die-cast toy cars at Roadster’s popular “Car Show within a car show” display.
