Activities

EV display & test drives

Meet 25+ fellow EV driving instructors in our impressive electric vehicle display. Pop outside to have a chat and hear what the instructors think about teaching in their electric cars, and feel free to go for a spin in one, too.

So far, our line-up includes BMW ID3, Cupra Born, Honda e:Ny1, Hyundai Kona 64, Kia Niro EV 4, MG 4, Mini Electric, Peugeot e-208, Renault Megane e-Tec, Renault Scenic e-Tech, Renault Zoe 50, Smart #1, Tesla M3, Vauxhall Corsa-e, and the Volvo EX30.

Test drives can be arranged on the day with the BMW ID3, Cupra Born, MG4, Hyundai Kona, Kia Niro, Vauxhall Corsa-e, Peugeot e-208, Renault Zoe, Renault Megane, Renault Scenic, Volvo EX30, Smart, Mini, and Tesla. You just need to bring your driving license with you, and have your NI number handy, so we can generate a license check code.

If you want to join the line-up, contact Ruedi from YES! Driving School, who’s once again coordinating this, [email protected].

Virtual reality experience

Experience what is like to be involved in real life crash in the Leicestershire Fie & Rescues Virtual Reality Van. Taka set, pop on a VR headset, and be prepared to be immersed in an experience like no other. Just remember, it’s not real, but a great way of conveying key road safety messages.

Adapted vehicle display & test drives

Meet the team from Disability Driving Instructors and Driving Mobility who are on hand to offer help and advice if you are interested in becoming a specialist disability driving instructor. See how the cars are set up to help those with disabilities and feel free to take a test drive in one of our cars fitted with adaptations to see how disabled people can drive. Feel free to book ahead to arrange your slot for the test drive, by emailing John, [email protected].

Professional headshots

Have a professional headshot taken, so you can use in your marketing, and on your ADI/PDI licence. Visit our professional photographer’s portable studio on the day, next to the main restaurant, from 2pm-3pm, to have your photograph taken. We’ll email the digital image through, and it’s completely free of charge. Don’t forget to say ‘cheese’!
