NEC Classic Car Show

Farm Truck Designs at the NEC Classic Motor Show

Friday 13th–Sunday 15th November 2026
NEC Birmingham | Find us in Hall 3

The Chevy is heading to the NEC—and we’re coming with it!

This is a big one for Farm Truck Designs! We’re bringing our much-loved Chevrolet 3100 pickup and a stand packed with our creations to the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show at the NEC Birmingham.

For three days, we’ll be swapping our workshop in Lymm for a weekend surrounded by classic cars, fellow enthusiasts and the stories that make this hobby so special. As a small, family-run business with a love of old vehicles, we couldn’t ask for a better place to share what we do.

Whether you’ve followed us for a while, spotted the Chevy at a market or are discovering Farm Truck Designs for the first time, come and meet Leanne and Matt in Hall 3.

Proper gifts for people who love their cars

We know that a classic car is rarely “just a car”. It’s the one you grew up with, the restoration that took over the garage, the first car you wish you’d kept or the pride and joy that only comes out when the forecast looks promising!

Our motoring-inspired metalwork celebrates that connection. We’ll be bringing a selection of our car-themed wall signs, hanging basket brackets and key hooks, with designs inspired by classic favourites, garage life and a shared love of all things automotive.

Find something for the garage, workshop, home or garden—or a present for the person who already seems to own every tool imaginable.

And yes, a hanging basket bracket can be a car enthusiast’s present too. Who says the flowers should have all the attention?

Meet the truck behind Farm Truck Designs

Our patina-covered Chevrolet 3100 pickup will be joining us on the stand, bringing a little piece of Farm Truck Designs to the show.

The Chevy is a familiar sight to customers who visit us at markets and events, and we’re looking forward to sharing it with a much bigger gathering of classic vehicle enthusiasts. Come over for a closer look, take a photo and have a chat—we’re always happy to talk trucks, projects and the jobs that somehow turn into another project!

Christmas shopping with a personal touch

With Christmas less than six weeks away, the show is the perfect opportunity to find a thoughtful present before the December rush.

Alongside our motoring designs, we’re bringing a selection of gifts for the other interests in your life, including:

  • Engraved wooden dog boards for dog lovers.

  • Cheese boards, pizza boards and smaller serving boards, with cheeky sayings and designs to make people smile.

  • Metal garden stakes and tree spikes for gardeners and wildlife lovers.

  • Northern Soul, Keep the Faith and Wigan Casino designs for those whose favourite memories come with a soundtrack.

  • Remembrance pieces, including our Lest We Forget designs.

  • Christmas ornaments to bring a little Farm Truck Designs character to the festive season.

Whether you’re buying for a petrolhead, gardener, dog lover or someone who takes their cheese board very seriously, come and see what we’ve brought.

You might even find a well-earned Christmas present for yourself. We won’t tell!

Designed and made by us in Lymm

Farm Truck Designs is run by Leanne and Matt, and our products begin with ideas that we turn into finished pieces in our Lymm workshop.

Our metalwork is designed in-house and cut using our CNC plasma cutter, with welding and finishing carried out as each piece requires. We also create our engraved wooden gifts, giving us plenty of scope for personal designs and unusual requests.

When you visit our stand, you’ll be speaking to the people behind the products. We can talk you through the materials, explain how things are made and help you choose something that suits the person you’re buying for.

Buying from us supports a small British business—and gives us the chance to keep making the things we love.

Have something bespoke in mind?

Perhaps you’d love a design inspired by your own classic, a personalised garage sign or a gift that captures someone’s favourite hobby.

Bring your ideas and come and talk to us.

The show is a great opportunity to discuss a commission in person, show us photographs and explore what might work. We’ll advise on suitable designs, sizes and finishes, and discuss availability and timescales for any Christmas requests.

If you’re part of a car club, run a motoring business or own a shop looking for distinctive British-made gifts, we’d love to meet you too.

Make a weekend of it

The Classic Motor Show brings together an incredible variety of classic vehicles, club displays and specialist traders, making it a fantastic day out for anyone with a love of motoring.

Take your time exploring the show, enjoy the cars and make sure Farm Truck Designs in Hall 3 is on your list of stops.

For us, this weekend is a chance to share our work, meet the people who appreciate it and put faces to some of the names who have supported our little business along the way.

Come for the classics, find the Chevy and get a few Christmas presents sorted while you’re here. We can’t wait to see you!

Arley Hall Christmas Market

Christmas at Arley Hall with Farm Truck Designs

The Arley Shopping Spectacular
Friday 20th–Sunday 22nd November 2026
Arley Hall & Gardens, Cheshire

A beautiful setting for a little Christmas magic

Wrap up warm, gather your favourite people and join Farm Truck Designs for three days of festive shopping at the beautiful Arley Hall & Gardens.

With its magnificent red-brick Hall, historic architecture and lovely Cheshire surroundings, Arley is a wonderful place to leave the everyday rush behind and start feeling Christmassy. Add artisan stalls, thoughtful gifts and seasonal decorations, and you have the perfect excuse to make a day of your Christmas shopping.

We’re delighted to be joining The Arley Shopping Spectacular, bringing a selection of our metalwork and engraved wooden gifts, designed and made by us just down the road in Lymm.

Christmas shopping at Tommy Shelby’s house!

If Arley Hall looks familiar, there’s a very good reason. Peaky Blinders fans will recognise it as the filming location for Thomas Shelby’s grand country home, Arrow House.

The Hall appeared from series three onwards, with its striking exterior and beautiful rooms providing the backdrop to some unforgettable Shelby family moments. Arley’s Library even became Tommy Shelby’s office.

It certainly adds a little drama to a Christmas shopping trip! Where else can you browse for presents with the setting of Tommy Shelby’s country estate as your backdrop?

And if there’s a Peaky Blinders fan on your Christmas list, come and ask us about our Peaky Blinders-inspired metalwork.

Find something they’ll be excited to unwrap

With Christmas just over a month away, this is a lovely opportunity to choose presents that reflect the people you’re buying for—their hobbies, their favourite animals and the little things that make them smile.

At the Farm Truck Designs stand, you’ll find gift ideas for gardeners, dog lovers, car enthusiasts, food lovers and those wonderfully tricky people who insist they “don’t need anything”.

We’ll be bringing a selection of:

  • Hanging basket brackets to add personality to a garden, with wildlife, animal and motoring designs.

  • Metal wall signs and garden art for a favourite corner of the home, garden or garage.

  • Garden stakes and tree spikes featuring birds and other much-loved creatures.

  • Engraved dog boards for the person whose four-legged friend is firmly in charge.

  • Cheese boards, pizza boards and smaller serving boards, including cheeky designs for Christmas nibbles.

  • Northern Soul, Keep the Faith and Wigan Casino designs for music lovers.

  • Christmas ornaments to add a festive finishing touch.

Whether you’re looking for a special present, a smaller gift or something for your own Christmas celebrations, come and have a browse.

Bring on the cheese, picky bits and Christmas treats

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a table full of things to nibble!

Our engraved wooden boards make lovely presents for hosts, cheese enthusiasts, pizza lovers and anyone who believes that a plate of picky bits counts as a perfectly acceptable evening meal.

Pair a board with their favourite cheese, crackers or a bottle of something nice, and you’ve got a thoughtful gift ready to wrap. Or choose one for your own festive table—after all, someone needs to make sure the Christmas snacks are properly presented!

Made locally, given with love

Farm Truck Designs is a small, family-run business run by Leanne and Matt, working from our workshop in Lymm, Cheshire.

We design and make our metalwork and engrave our wooden gifts ourselves. Every purchase supports our small business and helps us keep doing what we love: turning ideas into pieces that people enjoy giving, receiving and keeping.

Come and meet us, see the details up close and chat about the person you’re shopping for. We’re always happy to help you find a design that feels right.

Have a personal Christmas present in mind?

Sometimes the best gift starts with an idea: a favourite car, a much-loved pet, a special name or a hobby that has taken over the house.

If you’re thinking about a personalised gift or bespoke commission, come and talk to us. We can discuss what’s possible and check availability and timescales for Christmas orders.

Please speak to us as early as you can so we can give your idea the time it deserves.

Make a festive day of it

Take a break from scrolling through gift ideas and enjoy choosing presents in person, surrounded by the character and beauty of Arley.

Browse the artisan stalls, discover independent makers and tick a few names off your Christmas list. Whether you’re visiting with family, enjoying a day out with friends or bringing along a Peaky Blinders fan, we’d love to be part of your festive plans.

Come and say hello to Leanne and Matt, find a gift with a personal touch and let the Christmas countdown begin!

Farm Truck Designs at Bents Artisan Market – 12–13 September 2026

We’re delighted to be returning to Bents Garden & Home for another fantastic weekend with Independent Street on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 September 2026!

The Bents Artisan Market is a large, free-entry outdoor makers’ market featuring more than 80 independent stalls each day, alongside street food, live music and creative activities for children.

What type of event is it?

Organised by Independent Street, the Bents Artisan Market celebrates independent makers, bakers, artists, producers and small businesses from across the North West.

The market takes place outside Bents Garden & Home and is designed as a relaxed, family-friendly shopping experience where visitors can meet the people who design, make and produce the items on sale.

Independent Street describes Bents as one of its flagship Warrington events, bringing together more than 80 stalls each day.

Everything is designed and made by us at our family-run workshop in Lymm, Warrington.

We can produce bespoke designs from photographs, drawings or your own ideas. Custom artwork for our hanging basket brackets is available at no additional design charge, making it easy to create something that is completely personal to you.

September is also an ideal time to start thinking about unusual handmade Christmas presents. Ordering early gives us more time to design, cut, weld and finish your commission before the busy festive period.

Warrington Armed Forces Day

Farm Truck Designs at Warrington Armed Forces Day 2026

We're incredibly proud to be attending Warrington Armed Forces Day 2026, one of the North West's biggest celebrations of the Armed Forces community. The event takes place on Saturday 27th June at Crosfields Recreation Club in Great Sankey and brings together serving personnel, veterans, cadets, military charities, displays, vehicles, activities and thousands of visitors for a fantastic day of remembrance, support and community spirit.

As a family-run business based in Cheshire, supporting our Armed Forces community is something that means a great deal to us. Throughout the day you'll find the Farm Truck Designs team showcasing our range of handcrafted steel products, including our popular military hanging basket brackets, memorial pieces, wall plaques, fire pits and custom metal artwork.

Officially Licensed by the Ministry of Defence

What makes our military collection particularly special is that Farm Truck Designs is officially licensed by the Ministry of Defence to reproduce and use British Armed Forces insignia. This allows us to create authentic designs featuring military badges, cap badges, regimental crests and service emblems from across the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force.

Whether you're looking for a gift for a veteran, serving member of the Armed Forces, military family, or simply want to show your support and pride, we can create a unique piece that celebrates military service and heritage.

Handmade in Cheshire

Every item we sell is designed and manufactured in-house using our UK-built Xtreme CNC plasma cutter before being hand-finished right here in Cheshire. Our heavy-duty hanging basket brackets are cut from 3mm steel, feature four fixing points for strength and durability, and can be supplied in a wide range of military-themed designs.

We can also create completely bespoke pieces featuring specific regiments, corps, squadrons, ships, military vehicles or personalised wording.

Visit Us on the Day

If you're attending Warrington Armed Forces Day, make sure you come and say hello. You'll be able to see our military collection up close, discuss custom designs, and browse a range of products that aren't always available online.

The event itself features military displays, Armed Forces stands, military vehicles, family entertainment, rugby matches, food and drink vendors and activities throughout the day, making it a fantastic day out for all ages.

We look forward to meeting veterans, serving personnel, military families and supporters from across the region as we join Warrington in saying thank you to those who serve and have served.

See you at Warrington Armed Forces Day on Saturday 27th June 2026!

Would You Like Farm Truck Designs at Your Event?

We attend artisan markets, classic car shows, garden-centre events, country fairs and community events across Cheshire and the North West. If you’re organising an event and think our handmade metalwork, personalised wooden gifts and much-loved Chevrolet pickup would be a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.
