This year’s Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire once again transforms the historic grounds into a playground for luxury. Running from August 27 to 31, the five-day festival combines a concours d’élégance, exclusive exhibitions, and social events. Beyond the cars themselves, the event celebrates art, design, and the lifestyle that surrounds high-end automobiles.
The week begins with the concours d’élégance, where a carefully curated mix of classic and modern cars takes center stage. Visitors can admire the legacy of the classics while also previewing the latest innovations on display.
But what really makes Salon Privé special is its VIP hospitality. The Spencer Pavilion and Glass House packages turn the event into a full day of luxury. Guests enjoy premium parking and access to exclusive spaces where fine dining and Champagne set the tone for the day.
Inside the Glass House, exclusivity meets elegance. This striking structure offers panoramic views across the lawns and Water Terraces, with a private terrace overlooking the main stage and displays. Attentive hosts, a complimentary bar featuring bespoke London Essence cocktails, and a Pommery Champagne reception make for a truly indulgent atmosphere. Guests are treated to a multi-course fine-dining lunch paired with fine wines, followed later by a delightful Afternoon Tea service.
The Spencer Pavilion offers another premium setting, combining comfort, style, and proximity to the action. Both packages provide the perfect base to relax, socialize, and enjoy the spectacle of parades, displays, and a wide array of the world’s most desirable cars showcased across the lawns.
The combination of historic grandeur, curated experiences, and unparalleled hospitality makes Salon Privé one of the most exclusive events on the calendar. Attendees leave not just having admired rare and beautiful automobiles but having lived a taste of the luxury that defines them.
