More than 9,000 visitors joined us at Longleat for the 2026 Masters of Motoring Motor Show Weekender – an ambitious new celebration bringing together exceptional road cars, historic competition machinery, live motorsport, motoring art, collectors, families and premium brands in one extraordinary setting.
A motoring weekend with a difference
Across the weekend, Longleat became home to everything from pre-war classics and significant historic racing cars to modern supercars, motorcycles, modified cars and club displays. The Masters of Motoring Concours brought carefully selected vehicles together, while the VIP area provided a closer look at rare racing machinery and a relaxed place for guests, collectors and partners to meet.
Live Lombard Rally Festival demonstrations added sound, speed and movement throughout both days, marking 50 years since the Bath-based 1976 Lombard Rally. Away from the demonstration route, A Brush with Speed brought together motoring artists and sculpture, showing that automotive culture extends far beyond the cars themselves.
Historic motorsport, collectors and experiences
Historic F1, F2 and Le Mans-connected machinery helped make the weekend especially memorable. Alongside the cars were simulators, specialist displays, premium automotive and lifestyle partners and the opportunity for enthusiasts of every age to enjoy the wider Longleat estate.
Thank you
An event on this scale only happens because collectors, owners, clubs, demonstration drivers, artists, traders, sponsors, partners, volunteers and visitors choose to be part of it. Thank you to everyone who supported the first Longleat Motor Show Weekender and helped establish the foundations for what comes next.
Looking towards 2027
Planning for the next chapter is underway. We are exploring how Masters of Motoring can build on the Concours, live demonstrations, historic motorsport, collector displays, art, hospitality and family experience created in 2026. Future details will be announced when confirmed.
If you own an exceptional classic, competition car, supercar, motorcycle or historically significant vehicle, represent a car club, or would like to discuss demonstrating or exhibiting, we would love to hear from you.
We are also inviting conversations with prestige automotive, financial, luxury, jewellery, art, hospitality and lifestyle brands interested in partnership opportunities.
