Concours of Elegance Hampton Court

The Concours of Elegance started out in 2012 to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth’s ascendance to the throne. That first event was at Windsor Castle which was followed by a circuit of royal venues before settling into a residence at King Henry VIII’s imposing Hampton Court Palace. It’s one heck of a venue, and it has allowed the concours to develop, adding new attractions and sponsors. The cars are of the highest quality you’ll see in the UK, beautifully laid out through the Palace gardens. The 60 vehicles of the main concours are joined by themed displays, along with club gatherings and a line-up of Royal Automobile Club member cars. It’s relaxed and elegant, and should the cars lose their attraction for some of the family, there’s plenty to see around the Palace itself.
