This year marks a magnificent milestone for Salon Privé, which is set to celebrate 20 years of automotive elegance, refinement, and world-class hospitality. Held at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, from the 27th to 31st August, the event is a hallmark of British luxury, synonymous with excellence in motoring and lifestyle.
Now in its 20th year, this summer Salon Privé will once again host a world-class lifestyle experience that brings together the finest in classic cars, supercars, fine dining, and high-end brands including Boodles, Gatineau, Pommery Champagne and Qatar Executive in a setting steeped in British heritage.
With the backdrop of Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, the Salon Privé Concours by Aviva Private Clients is the UK’s only professionally judged Concours – offering a rare opportunity to see some of the world’s most exceptional classic cars, many making their UK debut, judged by an international panel of experts.
Salon Privé’s 20th anniversary is a celebration of legacy and evolution. Now officially a Certified B Corporation™, the event demonstrates its commitment to using business as a force for good, setting a new environmental and social accountability standard in high-end lifestyle events.
This year’s Platinum anniversary edition promises to be its most dazzling yet. It will feature the new Salon Privé Gallery, a luxurious atrium bordering the beautiful lawns of Blenheim. The atrium will offer a refined experience for guests, providing shelter without compromising the atmosphere or ambience synonymous with the event.
