The Yorkshire Elegance classic car showcase will return to Grantley Hall in Ripon from July 13 to 16, 2026. Organized in partnership with the Fast Lane Club, the event will feature rare classic motor cars and modern supercars from brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, and Rolls-Royce. It aims to celebrate 140 years of motoring history through a Concours d’Elegance format.
Yorkshire Elegance, a prestigious automotive event, is scheduled to take place at the five-star Grantley Hall estate in Ripon, North Yorkshire, from Monday, July 13, to Thursday, July 16, 2026. This will mark the third year the event has been hosted at the venue, in collaboration with the Fast Lane Club.
The gathering will display a curated collection of vintage, classic, and heritage vehicles, alongside modern prestige supercars. Highlights include models from Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, and Rolls-Royce, with each entry judged on provenance, condition, and design in a Concours d’Elegance competition. The event spans 140 years of motoring history and will feature parades and displays commemorating key anniversaries, such as the 140th anniversary of the first motorised carriage by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. Additional milestones include the 100th anniversaries of Mercedes-Benz, Maserati, the Bugatti Type 35 and Type 37 race cars, and Touring Superleggera, known for designing the Aston Martin DB5 featured in James Bond films.
Simon Smith, managing director of the Fast Lane Club, stated: “Yorkshire Elegance began just five years ago and this will be the third year the event has been hosted at Grantley Hall. The event has grown incredibly over the years, fuelled by the desire to create a high-class Concours d’Elegance to rival the established UK events, all of which take place in the South. The quality and rarity of the motor cars rival any motoring event anywhere in the world, something we are incredibly proud of.”
Paul Boulton, lifestyle manager at Grantley Hall, added: “Yorkshire Elegance has quickly established itself as one of the most distinguished automotive events in the North of England. It is a celebration not simply of cars, but of craftsmanship, heritage and timeless design. The setting of Grantley Hall provides the perfect backdrop – refined, historic and quintessentially British. We look forward to welcoming collectors and guests alike for what promises to be another exceptional occasion in 2026.”
The programme will combine concours judging with specialist showcases, hospitality experiences, Champagne receptions, and outdoor dining, unfolding as a garden party for collectors, enthusiasts, and guests. Tickets are now available through the Grantley Hall website.
