Williams BMW Returns to Manchester Art Fair With Immersive Backdrop to The First BMW i5.

Williams BMW is launching its support for the Peak District National Park, by showcasing some of the area’s most exciting artists, to create an immersive backdrop at the highly anticipated Manchester Art Fair.

The sixteenth edition of Manchester Art Fair is running this November (2023) from an evening preview on Friday 17th November (5pm-9pm) through to Sunday 19th November until 4pm - this event is not one to miss! Held in the historic - and iconic - Manchester Central, Manchester Art Fair is for the collector, the curator and the simply curious.

It’s part of our support for Peak District National Park and The Recharge in Nature Project, which encourages sustainable tourism by enhancing the availability of electric car charging points in areas of outstanding natural beauty.

We’re showcasing works by three of the Peak District’s most exciting artists: Giles Davies, Bethan Nadin and Louise Edwards. Their art is inspired by their surroundings and will create a mesmerising backdrop for the brand-new BMW i5 and BMW iX1 electric models for you to experience first-hand.

As the longest serving BMW retailer in the North West, we are committed to supporting local cultural and environmental initiatives. We are delighted to return to the Manchester Art Fair for the second year with an exciting showcase - announcing the arrival of the first all-electric BMW i5 and celebrating our support for the Peak District National Park, Recharge in Nature Project.
Guy Adams, Managing Director of Williams Group

A chance to meet the 100% electric i5

Join the electric revolution with the all-new BMW i5. We’ll be showcasing the i5 at Manchester Art Fair, where the modern-day powerhouse will be on display throughout the weekend.

With the BMW i5, “range anxiety” is a thing of the past as the vehicle boasts an impressive 357 miles of range on a single charge.

Beautifully streamlined and oozing luxury, the i5 is the first fully-electric five series and has the power to match the style - accelerating from 0-62mph in just 6 seconds.

Explore the wonders of the peak district with the BMW i5, test drive today.
