On 7 September 2024, RADwood returns to the UK, offering an unparalleled celebration of the cars, culture, and style of the 1980s and 1990s. Hosted at the historic Chatham Dockyards in Kent, this event promises an immersive experience where automotive excellence meets the unforgettable trends of two vibrant decades.
The show will feature four unique display areas: Star Cars, showcasing iconic vehicles like the BMW 850 CSi, Ferrari F355, Porsche 959, and Lamborghini Countach; RAD to the Future, highlighting 1984 classics alongside their 2024 counterparts, including comparisons between the Mini, Golf GTi, Lotus, and Ford Capri; the Show N Shine competition, with 50 meticulously prepared cars vying for top honors; and the RAD Display Cars, celebrating the best of the era.
In addition to the automotive spectacle, the event will embrace the spirit of the ’80s and ’90s with a fashion-forward nod to the era. Attendees are encouraged to dress up in retro attire, with vintage fashion vendors like Rokit Vintage on-site for those needing a last-minute upgrade. There’s even a prize for the best-dressed guest.
Music lovers can browse a record fair filled with rare finds, from Depeche Mode on vinyl to Britpop on MiniDisc, while gamers can relive the arcade glory days with free play on Outrun, Sega Rally, and Streetfighter machines.
General admission starts at £25 per car, or £15 for motorcycles, with entry to the RAD display area included. For £35, enthusiasts can enter their cars into the Show N Shine competition, though spaces are limited to 50 entrants.
