Bolesworth Concours

Bolesworth Castle near Chester is the venue for the Bolesworth Concours, a new event on the concours calendar scheduled for June 26th-28th, 2026. It’s billed as a celebration of “The Art of Horsepower”, which takes on a double meaning given the second day also hosts Puissance, a showjumping challenge, and visitors and exhibitors can enjoy both spectacles over the three-day event. Classes for the concours include Racing Legends, Coachbuilt Masters, and Italian Thoroughbreds among others, while there will be separate displays to celebrate pre-war cars, and 25 years of the Aston Martin Vanquish. The panel of judges is distinguished too, with the likes of Dr Matthias Rabe from Bentley, Lotus Elise designer Julian Thompson, and well-known car collector Jane Weizmann. Tickets for spectators start at only £10 for adults, while if you’d like to enter a car, there’s a £1450 package including concours entry, hospitality for two, and a concierge service.
