DailyDriven is proud to be partnering with our friends, the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, at their NEW base next to Southampton Airport for a very special event.
Sunday 16 August 2026. 9am to 12pm.
Heli & Horsepower is a family friendly car show in Southampton with a purpose. Every ticket sold goes directly to our charity partner, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, helping to fund the lifesaving work their crews carry out across the region every single day.
We are inviting everyone to join us - classic cars, sports cars, supercars, motorbikes, trucks, and every unique machine in between to fill the display area. If you drive something special, bring it along and help us raise funds for an incredible cause.
This is a rare chance to see the inner workings of a working air ambulance operation. Take a tour and enjoy an exclusive sneak peek inside the brand new airbase, which has only just opened its doors. Meet the incredible paramedics, doctors and charity staff who keep the service flying, and you may even get a closer look around the helicopter itself. You will also get one of the best views of Southampton Airport that the city has to offer.
You do not need a display vehicle to join us. Heli & Horsepower is open to everyone, from car enthusiasts and plane spotters to families after a brilliant morning out. Everyone attending must have a ticket, and every penny from ticket sales goes to the charity.
Getting there is easy too, with plenty of public transport routes and access options right beside Southampton Airport.
