Salon Privé will return to Blenheim Palace in September 2026, building on the momentum of its 20th anniversary edition with an expanded programme designed to further cement its position as one of Europe’s leading luxury automotive events.
Running from Wednesday 02 to Sunday 06 September 2026, the 21st edition will bring together classic cars, supercars, hypercars, fine dining and luxury lifestyle brands in a five-day celebration of design, heritage and performance at the Oxfordshire stately home.
Organisers are positioning the 2026 event as the most ambitious to date, with an expected audience of around 30,000 guests across the week and enhanced displays planned throughout the Blenheim Palace grounds. New automotive galleries will feature curated collections of high-performance vehicles, while expanded concours and parade programming will run across the event.
At its core, the Salon Privé Concours will continue to showcase some of the world’s most exceptional classic cars, many expected to make their UK debut. Vehicles will be judged by an international panel of experts, reinforcing the event’s reputation as one of the most prestigious concours gatherings in Europe.
The Lifestyle Village will also return in an expanded format, bringing together luxury brands and experiential partners to create a broader destination experience beyond the automotive displays. Organisers say the aim is to further develop Salon Privé as a “garden party of automotive excellence” combining cars, culture and hospitality.
Across the five days, the event will evolve through a series of themed highlights:
- Wednesday 02 September: The opening day will focus on curated concours classes celebrating automotive eras and design milestones, setting the tone for the week ahead.
- Thursday 03 September: Judging, awards and parades will continue, with a stronger emphasis on showcase moments and guest experience.
- Friday 04 September: Ladies’ Day, presented by Boodles, will blend fashion and performance, with lifestyle and style-led activations alongside supercar displays.
- Saturday 05 September: The Club Trophy will bring together more than 1,500 privately owned performance cars, creating one of the largest single-day displays of its kind in the UK.
- Sunday 06 September: The closing day will combine Supercar Sunday, lifestyle clubs and the Concours de Vente, offering both display and sales opportunities for collectors and enthusiasts.
Tickets for Salon Privé 2026 are already available, with general admission starting from £60 and premium hospitality packages extending to £645.
With Blenheim Palace once again providing the backdrop, the 2026 edition is expected to push further into the intersection of heritage motoring, luxury lifestyle and experiential event design, reinforcing Salon Privé’s position on the international automotive calendar.
