This year’s Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire once again transforms the historic grounds into a playground for luxury. Running from August 27 to 31, the five-day festival combines a concours d’élégance, exclusive exhibitions, and social events. Beyond the cars themselves, the event celebrates art, design, and the lifestyle that surrounds high-end automobiles.

But what really makes Salon Privé special is its VIP hospitality. The Spencer Pavilion and Glass House packages turn the event into a full day of luxury. Guests enjoy premium parking and access to exclusive spaces where fine dining and Champagne set the tone for the day.

Inside the Glass House, exclusivity meets elegance. This striking structure offers panoramic views across the lawns and Water Terraces, with a private terrace overlooking the main stage and displays. Attentive hosts, a complimentary bar featuring bespoke London Essence cocktails, and a Pommery Champagne reception make for a truly indulgent atmosphere. Guests are treated to a multi-course fine-dining lunch paired with fine wines, followed later by a delightful Afternoon Tea service.
