Automotive Concours
The main aspect of Heveningham Concours takes place at the rear of the Hall where around fifty motor cars are displayed on the grass terraces. It is a unique and marvellous way to view the cars, showcasing them from a variety of uncommon angles as well as the more straightforward, head-on views.
This year’s event, held on 8th and 9th July, celebrated the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. There were many classic racing cars from over the decades arrayed on the terraces for visitors to admire.
Aviation Concours
In the parkland adjacent to the automotive concours, the historic aeroplanes are parked up for inspection. At times during the day, one or two of these may be seen flying overhead.
Horsepower Hill
Horsepower Hill, a 1/8 mile blast along the estate’s main drive, was launched in 2018. The event attracts a wide range of classic and contemporary supercars. Previous years have included a Ferrari 250 GTO, a Pagani Zonda, a Lamborghini Huracan and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, amongst others. Horsepower Hill also has a paddock and ‘doughnut ring’ where visitors can watch the entrants burning some rubber. Spectators can get up close to the cars and watch all the action in grandstands either side of the main drive.
Owners' Events
During the evenings there are fantastic entertainers for owners and their guests to enjoy. In the past this has included abseiling and floating acrobats, as well as Spitfire flybys and dancing in inflatable spheres.
Heveningham Tour
Taking place on the day before the concours itself, Heveningham Tour is a 50-mile route for owners and guests through the Suffolk countryside. The route stops for lunch at a secret location mid-way before returning to Heveningham Hall ahead of a dinner for entrants. The drive takes in pretty country lanes and idyllic villages, and all entrants in the Tour receive specially-commissioned plaques and decals.
Country Fair
Heveningham Concours takes place at the same time as the estate’s long-standing charity Heveningham Country Fair which attracts over 20,000 visitors annually to the Capability Brown-designed parkland.
There is everything one would expect of a traditional English Country Fair – dog shows, agricultural vehicles and local arts and crafts – as well as aerobatic displays, Spitfire flypasts and F1 power boats.
Also expect lots of live music and entertainment, a Wall of Death, 4×4 off-roading and much, much more.
Come and join us
8th & 9th July
