The Event
Inaugurated in 2016, Heveningham Concours has become one of the UK’s finest annual motor car and aeroplane shows. It is held at Heveningham Hall in Suffolk where around fifty remarkable cars are displayed on the garden terraces together with a dozen or so historic propeller aircraft on grounds nearby. Heveningham Concours also presents Horsepower Hill, a run for all sorts of amazing cars along the estate’s parkland road, as well as the Heveningham Tour, a 50-mile drive for the Concours entrants through the Suffolk countryside with a stop for lunch. The event takes place at the same time as, and side-by-side with, the wider annual Heveningham Hall Country Fair.
Trophies
In the aviation concours, around a dozen of the world’s rarest propeller aeroplanes compete for the Hanna Aviation Trophy which is awarded to the best in show. All of the awards are presented to the owners, by the judges, at the summer party on Saturday evening at Heveningham Hall.
