Events 2025

Ichiban Garage is BACK for yet another year of car events across the UK. We are going bigger and better for our second year trading at car shows, attending some new shows as well as our biggest show to date; Gravity 2025!

Below is information on where, when and what shows we will be attending - plus any cars we will have on stand with us!

April 13th - JapFest (Silverstone Circuit)

This is our first year trading with JapFest and we couldn’t be more excited to start the year off with such a popular Japanese show! Along side our stand we will have the infamous S15.VXY on stand with his stunning Nissan S15 with bespoke Nine-tales inspired livery. Be sure to come along and get some amazing photos of Danny’s car & check out the t-shirts and hoodies we’ve made inspired by his vehicles design.

May 26th - MERAKI (Shuttleworth House)

We went to MERAKI last year for our first ever car show and regardless of the rainy weather, had the best time! This year we’re going back, bigger and better than before. With the stunning backdrop and scenery this show sure isn’t to be missed. Along side our stall we have Maisie’s gorgeous MX5 MK1 & either Spencer’s Lexus IS200 or Katies Nissan Micra joining us too! (TBC on which car they bring along!) All three vehicles will have feature products ready for this show, so be sure to come and check out the new designs which are yet to be released!

June 27-29th - Modified Nationals (Lincolnshire Showground)

This is the longest time we’ll be trading at a show for this year! Modified Nationals sure is a big show, but also a great opportunity to socialise and catch up. With the option to camp out you can be sure to have a great time at the show and hanging out with your friends afterwards. Come along to see us indoors and enjoy the many activities held across the whole weekend!

July 6th - The Ultimate Show (Exhibition Centre Liverpool)

This show was recommended to us by the lovely Andy with The Detail Kitchen & as Liverpool is a place I’ve been wanting to visit for a while now, it seemed ideal to get across there! We can’t wait for this show, with our largest space to date, we will be bringing all the goods and have Ola’s stunning Toyota Cera on stand with us! I have a huge soft spot for these cars and Ola’s has made me want one SO badly, so be sure to come and check out the design based around her car, take some photos and videos for her and don’t forget to tag us on socials when you post them! 

July 20th - DRIVE-R UNIFIED (Bicester Heritage)

We attended Unified show last year in 2024 as our second ever show and had the best time! It’ll be so exciting to see how much they’ve changed things up with the new venue this year, making it bigger and better than ever! Plus we’re praying for a gorgeous sunny day here in England so you lot have no excuses to miss this - come out and show your support for this amazing team!

August 23-24th GRAVITY (NEC Birmingham)

Well this is THE show everyone and anyone is waiting for this year (and every year).. Gravity 2025! We wont lie - this show is a bucket list event for us to be attending and we never thought that this would be the year we finally get a space to come along. This show is one of the biggest, busiest and just ‘on another level’ shows in the UK, so all I ask is to please come and show your support at this show to us and all the other traders attending as its a huge step up from the normal pace of life! We will be aiming to provide as much stock as possible on the days so that everyone gets a chance to purchase what they’re after; but if for any reasons we sell out of your size or colour, come chat to us and we’ll arrange a show special offer for any and all preorders!

October 5th - AESTHETICA (Penkridge Markets)

I must admit writing this, I’m biased here to say this is probably the event I’m most excited for this year. AESTHETICA is a brand new show, hosted by Andy with The Detail Kitchen. The amount of planning, time and effort put into this from him has been insane (and I probably don’t even hear the half of it!). Andy was next to us at our first ever car show last year and since then we’ve met several times, not realising it was each other! But he’s become such a lovely friend and I’m happy to be supporting his new show by coming along as a trader. If you’re looking for a diverse, different take on car shows then be sure to add AESTHETICA to your list as it’s not one to be missed.

At AESTHETICA this year we also have Reece attending with his beautiful sleek MX5 MK1, which wont be right by our stand but will be featured within the JDM section and we will have some discount codes available on his car, a limited amount but be sure to pick one up and bring it to the stand if you fancy a little extra off your purchase!

 

We are hopeful to be booking in a few more shows throughout the year, but these are our 100% confirmed shows for now. We will post regular updates within the blog space and on our socials so be sure you’re following us to keep up with where we are!
