Wednesday, 5 December: Tickets are now on sale for the Concours of Elegance 2019 at Hampton Court Palace, winner of ‘Best Concours’ at the Historic Motoring Awards and ‘Best Consumer Show’ at the EN Indy Awards. A special ‘Earlybird’ ticket offer is available from now until the end of January, granting a full day weekend adult admission ticket for £25. Simply head to concoursofelegance.co.uk/tickets and enter ‘EARLYBIRDVIP’ at checkout.

The UK’s finest concours d’elegance event will return to the exquisite surroundings of Henry VIII’s former home from 6-8 September, bringing with it a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of spectacular vehicles.

The Concours of Elegance’s main display of around 60 vehicles will be the focal point of the event, telling the story of the motor car from the 1890s right through to the modern day. Picking out icons and rarities from the world’s most famous car brands, including Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti and Rolls-Royce, the Concours of Elegance is a celebration of craftsmanship, luxury and innovation.

Alongside the main display will be a number of carefully curated features, celebrating some of the finest marques and coachbuilders in the world. A number of 2018’s features will also be returning, including the Royal Automobile Club Trophy – contested by winners of the nation’s best car clubs – and the Future Classics class. Last year’s Future Classics included the unique Rolls-Royce Sweptail, the one-of-seven Aston Martin Vantage V600 and the McLaren Senna chassis #001.

The 2019 event will cement Concours of Elegance’s global reputation for gathering the finest cars in the world in one of the UK’s most stunning settings; the Fountain Gardens of Hampton Court Palace. With the gracious support of Concours of Elegance patron, His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent, no other UK motoring event offers the same prestige or world-class quality of vehicles. Less than a third of the cars on display in the Main Concours will be based in the UK, offering visitors a rare chance to see vehicles traditionally housed in the States or throughout Europe.

Andrew Evans, Concours of Elegance Director, said: “Plans are already well underway to create a Concours of Elegance to surpass all our previous events. Our Steering Committee of motoring experts has identified the cars worthy enough of a hallowed place within the Fountain Gardens, and we’re gearing up for a number of world-firsts in our special features. Add in a host of luxury partners, including our Presenting Partner, A. Lange & Söhne, and I’m certain that we’ve created an event that lives up to the incredibly high standards people expect from one of the world’s leading concours d’elegance events.”

Adult tickets for this year’s Concours of Elegance start from £40, with the Earlybird ticket offer from £25 (simply enter EARLYBIRDVIP at checkout). Children under five and carers can enter free of charge. Visitors are also able to purchase bespoke hospitality packages, including VIP parking, three-course lunch, drinks reception and cream tea.

About the annual Concours of Elegance:

Established in 2012, the inaugural Concours of Elegance was held within Windsor Castle to mark the diamond jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen’s reign. Organised by Thorough Events, the first Concours of Elegance set a new global benchmark for a classic car concours; winning prestigious awards in the process; unheard of for a ‘start-up’ event in its first year. The second Concours of Elegance was held in 2013 to equal fanfare at the historic Royal Palace of St James in London, with the widely acclaimed third Concours set in the stunning grounds of Hampton Court Palace in September 2014, before heading to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in 2015. Only cars of the highest calibre are invited to the Concours of Elegance, from all over the world, painstakingly selected by the Concours Steering Committee; a respected team of authoritative historic car experts. A key objective of the annual Concours of Elegance is to raise significant sums for charity. In 2017, Concours of Elegance signed an agreement with Historic Royal Palaces to hold the event at Hampton Court Palace until 2021.
