Successful AutoFest Returns to P&J Live in 2027
Scotland’s only fully indoor car show, AutoFest Aberdeen is set to return to P&J Live on Sunday 21st March 2027 following the huge success of its 2026 event.
After drawing strong crowds and widespread praise from exhibitors and visitors alike, the show is gearing up for an even bigger and better experience, firmly cementing its place in the north-east’s motoring calendar.
From classic Ford models to brand new supercars and rare Japanese icons, AutoFest Aberdeen will once again showcase an impressive and diverse range of vehicles. Popular displays from Renomotive, Grampian Rally, Crimond Stockcar Raceway, Bon Accord Motorcycle Club and Grampian Kart Club are all expected to return, representing the very best of local motorsport.
Building on the excitement of 2026, visitors can also look forward to live entertainment and interactive attractions, including stunt displays, remote-control experiences and family-friendly activities. Young petrolheads will have the chance to meet walkabout characters and enjoy a variety of attractions, while the bustling trade village will offer everything from automotive products to unique lifestyle goods.
AutoFest Aberdeen’s Show Director, James Stephen, said: “Following the huge success of our 2026 event, we’re delighted to confirm and launch AutoFest 2027. The level of demand from both the public and exhibitors has been fantastic and greatly appreciated.
2027 is set to be a landmark year for motoring in Scotland, particularly in Aberdeenshire with the arrival of the World Rally Championship, and we’re thrilled to be part of the annual calendar.
We’re also excited to announce the expansion of the show, with the addition of Hall C. Building on everything we learned in 2026, we can’t wait to deliver an even bigger and better event at P&J Live. Show car applications are expected to open in September, and we look forward to welcoming even more vehicles than ever before.”

It’s more than just a car show – it’s a day out designed for everyone, from dedicated motoring enthusiasts to families looking for something different.
