 Welcome to the IAMC!We are an independent group of enthusiasts, linked by a shared love of Italian two- and four-wheeled vehicles. Many Italian car and bike clubs do not have enough members in particular areas to make local meetings and social activities viable, but by getting together such events become possible - and even more interesting!         News and information about IAMC events, festivals and meetings.
Devizes Italian AutoMoto Festival - Saturday 26th April 2025
We are really pleased to be returning to Devizes for our first event of the year. We will be using the Market Square car park in the centre of town, as we did in 2022, and without any of the road closures from the 2023 event. We will be more space limited, but the compact nature makes for a great Italian feeling in the market square. Vehicle entrants are invited to purchase tickets via the Ticket Tailor link below. Please book early, as we are limited to 65 cars and 30 bikes. Please also note this event is restricted to Italian vehicles - do not purchase a ticket if you are not exhibiting an Italian vehicle! The event is of course free to the general public to enjoy the atmosphere and admire the fantastic Italian machinery! Exhibitor tickets are available here: https://buytickets.at/italianautomotoclub/1581026 If you have not had a chance to visit Devizes, it is a lovely market town with many delightful independent shops and cafes, as well as the nearby Kennett and Avon canal, and the prehistoric remains at nearby Avebury. A visit is highly recommended. Entrants are also requested to bring a donation for the Devizes Food Bank, as a token of our thanks to the town. There will be a collection point on site on the morning of the show. Gloucester Italian AutoMoto Festival - Sunday 11th May 2025
We are really excited to be returning to Gloucester Docks, this time for a dedicated Italian vehicle show. We have access to the whole waterfront area from the Mariners Church to the Soldiers of Gloucestershire museum, and we really could not ask for a more spectacular or attractive location! There is lots to discover at Gloucester Docks. Just a stone’s throw from Gloucester City Centre, it's most inland port in the country! The perfect place for a family day out, explore Victorian dock buildings, designer outlet shops, cosy cafes and fascinating museums! We have lots of space, but it is not unlimited, so please book early to secure a space. Please also note this event is restricted to Italian vehicles - do not purchase a ticket if you are not exhibiting an Italian vehicle! Please also note that the Docks have recently been re-paved, and we must make sure we do not let fluids drip. If your vehicle is likely to mark its territory, please bring a drip tray or cardboard to prevent damage to the paving. We will also have trays available on the day. Newbury Italian AutoMoto Festival - Sunday 27th July 2025
The Italian Auto Moto Club is delighted to announce a new event in the historic market town of Newbury! The area surrounding the historic Market Place and Corn Exchange will be closed for the day of the festival, and we will transform the town into a little piece of Italy for the day. Alongside our display of fine Italian machinery, an Artisan market will be taking place over the bridge in Northbrook Street. Those not familiar with Newbury will be pleasantly surprised by the relaxed and charming feel to the town.

Tickets available very soon! Entering IAMC EventsThe IAMC no longer operates as a subscription-based club, and we therefore need to charge an entrance fee for events, in order to cover the costs of running the club, and putting on each event. We do not make a profit, and once costs have been covered, we make a donation to a charity local to the event. This might be a local food bank, a charity selected by the local council or mayor, or something like the Help for Heroes or the Midlands Air Ambulance. We may also ask entrants to additionally bring a food donation for the local food bank. If you are interested in exhibiting a vehicle at any of the events above, please use the Ticket Tailor links in the text above. Print your ticket or bring a smartphone scan for checking at the entrance of the event. The criteria for entering is that vehicles should be Italian, presentable and interesting ! The entrance fee is generally £15 for cars and £5 for motorcycles and scooters, but some events may vary according to local requirements. If you have any queries or want to know more, please email enquiries@italianautomoclub.co.uk Looking forward to seeing you at one of the IAMC events in 2025 !

 Bristol Italian AutoMoto FestivalWe regret to confirm that there will be no BIAMF in the near future. Changes to the physical infrastructure around Corn Street, as well as organisational and commercial challenges have made this a harder and harder event to organise, and it seems unlikely that we would be able to stage it in its previous format. The Club organises various events during the year. Our aim is to organise Italian Vehicle festivals in interesting and unusual locations, from town centres, to museums or docside location. For many years we staged the major Bristol Italian AutoMoto Festival , before local restrictions made the event unviable. We have also staged events in Swindon, Gloucester, Devizes, Chesham, Bridgnorth and Cardiff, and we are presently branching further afield. We are dependant on support from a small but dedicated band of volunteers and assistants, who give time and effort to marshall events. Tribute must be paid to our founding member Paul Hanmore who is sadly no longer with us, but we remember his irrepressible spirit with every event that takes place.
