How to Experience the Best of Salon Privé 2026 at Blenheim Palace
Every September, the stunning grounds of Blenheim Palace provide the perfect setting for one of Britain’s finest automotive events. This year, Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace returns from 2 to 6 September 2026, bringing together exceptional collector cars, modern supercars, luxury brands and elegant hospitality for five memorable days. As a result, visitors can enjoy an event that combines style, prestige and automotive excellence in one remarkable setting.
Whether you admire pre-war classics, the latest hypercars or beautifully restored icons, Salon Privé offers something special. Better still, general admission starts from £60, making this prestigious event more accessible than many people expect.
Here’s what visitors can look forward to during each day of the event.
Salon Privé Concours by Aviva Private Clients
2-3 September
To begin with, the opening two days belong to one of the world’s most respected concours competitions. During this time, collectors from across the globe will display some of the rarest and most valuable automobiles ever built on the spectacular lawns of Blenheim Palace.
Every entry has been selected for its significance, originality and history. Throughout the event, an international judging panel will assess each vehicle before awarding the coveted concours honours.
Visitors can expect an outstanding variety of cars, including:
- Historic racing legends
- Rare coachbuilt masterpieces
- Beautiful grand tourers
- Exceptional collector cars with remarkable provenance
This year’s concours also embraces modern automotive icons. For the first time, Salon Privé Blenheim Palace introduces two new competition classes:
- Limited Production Supercars
- Hypercar Heaven
As a result, visitors can enjoy the very best collector cars from both the past and the present, creating an even more diverse concours display.
Ladies’ Day by Boodles
4 September
Ladies’ Day has become one of Salon Privé’s most anticipated occasions. It combines elegant fashion, luxury jewellery, outstanding cars and a relaxed garden party atmosphere.
Guests are encouraged to dress for the occasion while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Blenheim Palace. Throughout the day, visitors can browse the concours entries, discover luxury exhibitors and enjoy premium hospitality.
One of the highlights is the popular Boodles Best Hat Competition, which adds colour and personality to an already stylish event.
Meanwhile, Pommery Champagne, fine dining and carefully curated shopping experiences help make the day feel every bit as refined as the cars themselves.
Supercar Saturday & Club Trophy by Lockton
5 September
The atmosphere changes dramatically on Saturday as more than 1,500 supercars, hypercars and classic cars arrive at Blenheim Palace.
Owners’ clubs from across the country gather to create one of the UK’s largest automotive displays. Every corner of the South Lawn offers something worth stopping to admire.
Visitors can enjoy:
- Over 1,500 display cars
- Supercar and classic car club displays
- Parade laps
- Live presentations
- Opportunities to meet fellow enthusiasts
One of the biggest attractions is that owners can also display their own cars. Seeing hundreds of privately owned performance and classic cars together creates an experience few other UK events can match.
Supercar Sunday & Lifestyle Club Trophy
6 September
Salon Privé Blenheim Palace concludes with another spectacular day celebrating Britain’s thriving enthusiast community.
Supercar Sunday welcomes many of the country’s leading supercar and lifestyle clubs, filling both the North and South Lawns with an extraordinary collection of owner-driven cars.
Alongside the club displays, visitors can explore the Concours de Vente, where carefully selected collector cars are presented for sale.
Each entry is assessed by an expert judging panel, giving buyers and enthusiasts the opportunity to appreciate some truly desirable automobiles before they find new owners.
It provides a fitting finale to five days dedicated to automotive excellence.
Why Salon Privé Continues to Stand Out
Many UK motoring events focus on speed, motorsport or manufacturer displays. Salon Privé Blenheim Palace offers something different.
Its unique combination of world-class concours competition, luxury lifestyle experiences and enthusiast gatherings creates an atmosphere unlike any other automotive event on the calendar.
The setting also plays a major part. Blenheim Palace provides an elegant backdrop that complements everything from Edwardian classics to the latest limited-production hypercars.
Whether you spend a single day exploring the displays or attend several events throughout the week, there is always something new to discover.
