Cool Flo Summer Cruise Nights at Brooklands 2025
October 27, 2025
On a warm July evening, the roar of engines mixes with the hum of conversation as a convoy of classics and motorcycles rolls into Brooklands Museum, the world’s first purpose-built racetrack. This is Cool Flo Summer Cruise Nights, now in its fourth year and one of the biggest cruise nights in the UK.

Summer Cruise Nights began as a simple idea at Cool Flo HQ: bring together cars, culture, and community. Our first meets took place at The Medicine Garden in Cobham, a space that quickly became a favourite for locals and petrolheads alike. When the venue was sold, the events paused, but the community spirit didn’t.
Determined to bring the meets back, we reached out to the team at Brooklands Museum. It was the perfect fit: the birthplace of British motorsport, steeped in history and atmosphere. Brooklands had never hosted evening events before, so we agreed to run a trial season together. Like any good partnership, it took time to find the rhythm, but working closely with the Brooklands crew, we refined the layout, flow, and structure each year.

Four seasons later, that trial has blossomed into a fixture on the summer calendar: a celebration of heritage, movement, and community in one unforgettable evening.
Each Cruise Night is a living snapshot of car culture in motion. Gates open at 6 p.m. sharp, and early arrivals line up for paddock display parking, where pre-’95 and post-’95 vehicles drop into special display areas, creating a visual feast of classics, customs, hot rods, and bikes.

As the sun begins to dip, engines idle, cameras click, and stories are swapped between old friends and new faces. The atmosphere is easy-going but electric; equal parts show and social. With food trucks serving BBQ favourites, the Brooklands Sunbeam Café open late, and a live DJ spinning tunes that nod to Cool Flo’s retro roots, the energy stays high all night long.
It’s not about competition; it’s about connection. The laughter across the paddock, the glow of headlights at dusk, and that shared sense of belonging are what make these nights special.

For Cool Flo, Brooklands is more than just a venue; it’s home turf for the brand’s values: heritage, lifestyle, and the joy of the ride. Cool Flo has always been more than a clothing label; it’s a lifestyle built around movement, music, and community. Cruise Nights are where that spirit comes alive: where vintage meets modern, and where every visitor becomes part of the story.

This year, we hosted four Cruise Nights instead of the usual six, focusing on the core summer months to dodge the unpredictable weather, and the turnout was incredible. Each event drew record crowds and a diverse mix of machines that perfectly captured the Cool Flo ethos.

A huge thank-you to everyone who came out, displayed their vehicles, supported from the sidelines, or simply stopped by for a burger and a chat. We pour our hearts into creating a welcoming, well-organised event, and our stewards work tirelessly behind the scenes, but we couldn’t do any of it without you.
Family and friends make up a steadfast team of stewards for each Cruise Night.
Cruise Nights continue to grow year after year, and the team is already planning what’s next. We’re just getting started. Every season, we look for new ways to make the experience bigger, better, and even more inclusive, while staying true to the culture that started it all.
From the gleam of chrome in the golden hour to the sound of engines fading into the night, Cool Flo Summer Cruise Nights capture everything we love about cars, community, and connection.
Whether you roll in on two wheels or four, Brooklands is the place to be on a summer evening.
Cool Flo. Built for the ride.
