Salon Privé Concours Opens At The Majestic Blenheim Palace UK (August 27-31, 2025)
August 27 @ 10:00 am - August 31 @ 5:00 pm
£350
The historic Blenheim Palace in the United Kingdom will once again roll out the red carpet and open its doors to what is considered the crème de la crème of international car shows.
From August 27 to 31, 2025, the Salon Privé Concours will showcase an impressive collection of automobiles against the backdrop of Baroque architecture and sprawling English gardens.
This four-day gala is not just about collector cars; it celebrates British luxury, automotive history, and the legacy and traditions of the gas-powered four-wheeled revolution.
Taking place on the South Lawn of Blenheim Palace, this year’s Salon Privé Concours promises a spectacular car show like no other.
While car aficionados can admire rare classic cars, thrill-seekers will have the chance to test drive supercars from elite brands, exploring potential investments.

Beyond the cars, Salon Privé Concours presents an unparalleled English day out, complete with fine dining, Pommery Champagne, and a luxury retail village.
Everything a car connoisseur could dream of, from haute couture to yachts, will be on display.
Set in the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and home to the Duke of Marlborough, this event is a must-visit for any enthusiast or car collector with an appetite for luxury.
The UK’s most glamorous luxury automotive event, Salon Privé offers an opportunity to dress up and stand out alongside a lawn full of magnificently rare and exotic curated cars, luxury brands, and stunning artworks. Dress Code is “Garden Party”
“Dress code: For gentlemen, we suggest a comfortable suit or blazer with chinos and a pair of brogues. For ladies, we recommend chic daywear such as summer dresses, trousers, and jumpsuits, and welcome beautiful hats, headpieces, and fascinators, of course, on Ladies’ Day Friday. Please bear in mind that gravel paths and lawns at the Palace are not the best surface for stiletto heels….”
How To Dress
Whichever day you choose to attend, think “Garden Party” at Buckingham Palace, think Royal Ascot, and think the very best of Henley Regatta. Garden party attire should be dressy but typically not too formal, effortless but not too casual.
