Cars, bikes and plenty to look around
BCM describes itself as a UK motorsport events and lifestyle brand built around car shows, track days and enthusiast meet-ups.
Its BCM @ THE HILL format is designed as a relaxed meeting point for a broad mix of vehicles rather than a formal concours or competitive event.
That means you can expect enthusiasts arriving in everything from modified cars and performance machinery to motorcycles and more unusual builds.
For visitors, much of the appeal is simply wandering around, seeing what has turned up and talking to other people who are interested in the same things.
A fitting venue for an automotive meet
Jacks Hill Café has a long association with motoring.
The site has been a familiar stopping point on the A5 for decades and became particularly well known among motorcyclists, truck drivers and car enthusiasts.
The café itself describes Jacks Hill as a historic venue for motorcycle meets and automotive gatherings, and the large tarmac area surrounding it makes it particularly well suited to events like this.
It has even appeared as a backdrop on television programmes including Top Gear and Scrapheap Challenge.
Club parking and enthusiast displays
The January event is currently listed with club parking, giving groups the opportunity to arrive and park together.
That should make the meet particularly appealing to owners’ clubs and groups travelling in convoy.
Anyone attending with a club should check the latest BCM information before travelling in case spaces need to be arranged in advance.
Traders and motorsport entertainment
The event is also listed with traders and motorsport-themed entertainment alongside the vehicle displays.
Previous BCM @ The Hill events have included elements such as motorsport broadcasts, photography and racing simulators, although the exact January programme should be checked closer to the date.
That helps make it more than simply a car park full of vehicles, particularly if you are planning to spend several hours there.
Food and drink at Jacks Hill Café
Jacks Hill Café serves a traditional roadside café menu, including breakfasts, burgers, hot meals, sandwiches, cakes and hot drinks.
So if January weather behaves exactly as January weather usually does, there should at least be somewhere to warm up with food and a cup of tea.
The café also has vending facilities available outside its normal serving hours.
