PH at Blenheim Palace Classic & Supercar

New event, familiar location and plenty of reasons to head along!

---

PistonHeads has become a media partner to the new Blenheim Palace Classic & Supercar show, which takes place on Sunday September 3rd in Oxfordshire.

The family friendly event has been created by luxury automotive organisers Salon Prive, alongside Blenheim Palace. It will showcase more than 350 of the world's greatest classic and supercars in the stunning surroundings of the Oxfordshire World Heritage Site.

We'll be there with a member supercar display and a Sunday Service parking area for 500 cars. Access to the Sunday Service will require a Blenheim Palace park and gardens ticket, which will get you full access to the show. Prices are £15.30 for an adult, £7.10 for a child and free for under 5s with a family ticket available too.

The Pirelli Prestige & Performance Competition is the focus of the day, with categories including 'Hypercars from the Lawn', '30th Anniversary of the Ferrari F40' and 'Super Roadsters'. The winners will take part in a parade later in the afternoon. 

Co-founder of Blenheim Palace Classic & Supercar Andrew Bagley said: "This truly is a must-attend event for every car lover and enthusiast; it is an unmissable opportunity to see the most extravagant and spectacular hypercars, supercars and classic cars on the planet, all at the most affordable price imaginable."

Those planning to attend can find out more about the show and book tickets here. The Sunday Service will be live to sign up for at the beginning of August, so add the date to your diary to sign up - see you there!

So they call the Sunday a completely different event after Salon Privé on the Thursday-Saturday.

Will be bringing my little one along to this - we're regulars at Blenheim living 5 miles away.

Is this effectively a "replacement" for the Wilton show? I really enjoyed that the two years I went.

I will probably go to this. I take it that my Dad will be able to us his annual Blenheim Palace pass to get into this.

It's run by a different team so not as such, but for us we're expecting a very similar feel to Wilton. Blenheim Palace is a stunning venue, it'll be full of amazing cars and entrance is reasonable too. What's not to like?!

I'm afraid on this occasion annual passes won't apply, so he'll need to buy a park and gardens ticket to get into the show.

Blenhiem - never miss an opportunity to squeeze every last penny out of the punters!

I'm a bit confused by this - is the Sunday an additional day to Salon, or completely different? Does the Sunday doesn't include the concours cars etc?

£1k to enter a car into the concours though...golly.

If we need Palace, Park & Garden tickets to attend the PH stand, they are listed at £24.90 each.

The Park & Gardens only are £15.30

Are PH offering discount tickets? Can't see any place to get full access for £15.30

Could you please clarify? Have a selection of odd & interesting cars that can be brought along!

Apologies for the delay, I've been away on hols. It's organised by the same team as Salon Prive, but the main difference is that SP is a 3-day luxury hospitality event, whereas the BP Classic & Supercar is a 1-day entrance only show for the general public without the lobster/champagne.

It still features the Pirelli Prestige & Performance collection, the Ferrari Owners' Club, manufacturer and classic car displays, and of course, our PistonHeads paddock! In total, there should be 300-400 cars on display at the event.

You only need the Park & Gardens ticket at £15.30 for full access to the event. If you want to go into the Palace, you can get the more expensive ticket, but it doesn't give you any more access to the event itself.

Thanks Ben.

Is the PH "member supercar display" fully subscribed or can I register my interest somehow?

Not yet! Feel free to drop me a PM with the car you'd like to add into the display and we can see if it fits in with what we already have

I'll be there in my mid-life crisis mobile :

Excellent. The Sunday Service will go live next week, so come back on Tuesday to get your name on the list!

Looks great. A suitable replacement for Wilton House Supercars event! PHSS Calendar says registration goes live 1st Aug but this says 15th?

Exactly what we thought! Good spot, this will be updated shortly. As our Sunday Service fell through for this month, we made the decision to bring sign up forward for this event. It'll also give members plenty of time to buy their tickets too.

what time is this due to open?
