It is with heavy hearts that we have to inform you that IMM 2025 Sussex is being postponed.

​

The reason is low ticket sales, which means that it is not financially viable to run the event as originally planned. This is despite our best efforts to scale down and reduce costs as much as possible.

​

IMM is entirely volunteer-run and run on a not-for-profit basis, and this decision has not been taken lightly. Our aim has always been to create an incredible event for our fellow Mini lovers, but we must also act responsibly with the resources entrusted to us.

​

IMM 2025 ticket prices were carefully calculated on the costs of putting the event on and information on ticket sales provided by previous UK IMM events. Due to the rise in costs over the past year, we needed to sell 3,500 tickets to cover outgoings. But sadly, we are not even half-way there.

​

Please be patient while we work out our next steps

​

We understand this will be disappointing, but please know we’ve done everything in our power to make it work. We are doing our very best for the community we love.

​

We’re now working hard to reschedule IMM 2025 to a new date, giving more time for us to build the support we need to make this event everything we want it to be. We are also exploring additional revenue streams to cover costs.

Your Questions Answered

• Why was the event postponed?
  Ticket sales were significantly lower than expected. Even after reducing costs the event became financially unviable.
   

• Why not keep it going with fewer people?
  Unfortunately, large-scale events like this have fixed costs such as venue hire and security that can’t be scaled down proportionally. Lower ticket numbers meant a large financial shortfall, meaning a personal cost to organisers.
   

• How were the ticket prices set?
  Ticket prices were based on event quotes, site costs and information provided by previous UK IMMs. We did everything we could to keep prices as fair and affordable as possible while still covering costs.
   

• What happens to my ferry booking or travel plans?
  We recommend contacting your travel insurance provider regarding any ferry or travel changes due to the event postponement.
   

• When will new dates be announced?
  We are actively working to secure an alternative date and will update you as soon as this is confirmed.
   

• Will tickets be refunded or carried over?
  We will share detailed information about ticket options shortly. Please bear with us while we finalise the best approach.
   

• How can I help?
  Spread the word, rally your clubs and fellow Mini fans, and consider supporting us when the new dates go live. We’ll need the community behind us more than ever.​

Thank you for your understanding, patience and continued support. We’re committed to making IMM 2025 a celebration worth waiting for.
