Following a day of action on track at Castle Combe Circuit the day before, on Sunday 8th June 2025, the serene grandeur of Bowood House will be transformed into a curated experience of rare elegance and refined indulgence for the Masters of Motoring Concours — a highlight of the British summer season for collectors, connoisseurs, and supercar owners.
Set within the sweeping Capability Brown-designed gardens of one of Wiltshire’s most prestigious estates, the Masters of Motoring Concours presented by Footman James, offers more than just a gathering of exceptional cars. It is a lifestyle occasion designed for those who appreciate craftsmanship, design, and the finer things in life.
A Curated Display of Excellence
Guests can expect an extraordinary selection of vehicles on display—from concours-level classic sports cars and historic racing machines to the latest in modern hypercars and rare motorcycles. Carefully curated to celebrate engineering, heritage, and innovation, each vehicle is chosen not only for its pedigree but for its ability to stir passion and admiration.
What elevates this Concours beyond the traditional, however, is its celebration of lifestyle, luxury, and automotive-inspired art.
Artistry Meets Engineering
For 2025, Masters of Motoring introduces a handpicked group of luxury goods exhibitors and fine artists, reflecting the evolving tastes of the modern enthusiast who appreciates beauty in all its forms.
Le Mans Art brings the drama and nostalgia of endurance racing to canvas, with expressive and technically rich works that capture the soul of the legendary 24-hour race like no other. Sculptor and artist Robin Bark will showcase his acclaimed series of handcrafted automotive sculptures and paintings—each a study in speed, form, and timeless design.
Bear Industries adds a touch of tactile industrial luxury, presenting automotive-inspired bespoke furniture and sculptural metalwork that sits perfectly in the contemporary collector’s home or private garage.
The renowned Deacons Jewellers, family-owned for generations, will present a refined collection of horology and fine jewellery, offering guests a chance to view and acquire rare timepieces and exquisite designs.
This exclusive showcase blends the dynamic world of motorsport with high art and bespoke craftsmanship, creating a gallery-like experience set against the majestic backdrop of Bowood.
The VIP Experience – Designed for the Discerning Guest
For those seeking a truly elevated experience, VIP access to the Concours offers a day of complete indulgence.
VIP guests are greeted with priority parking and a dedicated hospitality lounge, where Champagne and gourmet refreshments are served throughout the day. They enjoy early access to the Concours Lawn, private viewing of the car displays, and one-on-one engagement with exhibiting artists, curators, and automotive experts.
The VIP programme is tailored for supercar owners, collectors, and discerning enthusiasts who value comfort, exclusivity, and connection —whether networking with fellow guests or exploring investment-grade vehicles and artwork.
A Social Occasion with Distinction
Those who visit Masters of Motoring at Bowood House & Gardens will find a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, which adds to the garden party feel of the day. Bowood House itself and its wonderful grounds and garden remain open for exploration — offering a glimpse into its rich aristocratic history and architecture. It is a reminder that this is not simply a motoring event, but a celebration of culture and character.
For individuals and automotive aficionados alike, Masters of Motoring at Bowood House delivers an experience that extends beyond the cars themselves—blending beauty, performance, and artistry into a single, exceptional day.
VIP packages and curated access are now available. Due to the strictly limited availability, advance booking is highly recommended.
Join us on Sunday 8th June for a day where passion for motoring meets the art of living well.
