A new motor show at Sandown Park in Esher on 19 June 2027 has named KSS, the air ambulance called out 3,139 times in a year, as its official charity partner.

A new motor show is coming to Sandown Park in Esher next summer, and the money raised on the gate will help keep Surrey’s air ambulance flying. The Sandown Motor Show, on Saturday 19 June 2027, the Saturday of Father’s Day weekend, has named Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS) as its official charity partner.

The charity’s team will be at the racecourse on the day, and visitors will be able to give to it there.

Why KSS

In the year to March 2025, KSS crews were called out 3,139 times across Kent, Surrey and Sussex, according to the charity’s Mission Update for that year. A quarter of those missions were in Surrey, and more than one in four were to road traffic collisions. The crews treated 1,801 patients over the same twelve months, 590 of them at night.

KSS doctors and paramedics can perform open-heart surgery, give blood transfusions and deliver emergency anaesthetic at the scene. The service runs 24 hours a day from Redhill Aerodrome, and the charity says it costs £57,000 a day to keep it in the air, with 91% of its regular income coming from supporters.

Jay Jones, founder of Daily Driven Events, which organises the show, said the link between the two was an obvious one for a day out built around engines.

“Anyone who loves cars and bikes knows how quickly a great day out can change,” he said. “When the worst happens, KSS are the ones who come, and they can only do it because ordinary people keep them flying.

“The show falls on Father’s Day weekend, when families will be there together, and keeping families together is exactly what KSS do. We want everyone who comes through the gates to leave knowing a bit more about them, and having put something in the bucket.”

Rebecca Ussher, Corporate Partnerships Manager at KSS, said: “Partnerships like this provide a brilliant opportunity to introduce more people to KSS and the work we do, while raising vital funds to support our life-saving service. We’re incredibly grateful to the Sandown Motor Show team for choosing to support KSS, and we look forward to meeting visitors and supporters at the show in June.”

What will be on show

The show will fill the racecourse’s lawns, the Parade Ring and Surrey Hall with every kind of machine, from classics and motorbikes to supercars and one-off builds. The organisers’ page lists six zones: Surrey Hall as the indoor show floor, the Parade Ring as the feature lawn, a Live Arena on the infield, a Trader Village on the concourse, a Family Zone and a VIP space called the Gallery.

Owners can apply to display a vehicle free of charge through the show’s page, and the organisers say the first machines on the lawn make the show.
