C el ebr ating Ten Years Of S alon Privé

In celebrating our Tenth Anniversary, we are about to raise the bar even higher with a move to a spectacular new venue widely regarded as ‘Britain’s Greatest Palace’; Blenheim Palace.

Salon Privé will carry over all of the attributes that have made it such a popular occasion within the UK as well as international owners and collectors. It retains its convivial atmosphere and exquisite hospitality that it has always been so renowned for and it remains a place where old friends meet and new friendships are forged.

With a new layout and more space to allow for larger and more frequent parades, the Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elégance will come to life on the South Lawn of Blenheim Palace on Thursday 3rd September.

The event will have its normal lair, charm and beauty on Boodles Ladies’ Day. Then, on Saturday 5th September, the inaugural Pirelli ‘Prestige & Performance’ Competition roars into the Great Court of Blenheim Palace, a sight deinitely worth seeing, or better still, being a part of.

Blenheim Pal ac e

His tory Blenheim Palace is a spectacular Stately Home situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, and was a gift from Queen Anne and a grateful nation to the 1st Duke of Marlborough following his famous victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. It remains the principal residence of the Duke of Marlborough and it is the only non-royal, non-episcopal, Stately Home in England to hold the title of ‘Palace’. One of England’s largest houses, it was built between 1705 and 1722 and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It was designed by the famous architect Sir John Vanbrugh in the rare English Baroque style and is surrounded by over 2,000 acres of ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped Parkland and stunning Formal Gardens which represent a perfect example of the English landscape garden movement and style.

Famed as the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, Blenheim Palace is one of the country’s inest and most spectacular Stately Homes and currently home to the 12th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough.

Fa cilities The South Lawn of Blenheim Palace provides the perfect setting for the newly conigured Salon Privé. Allowing the event to be fully enclosed and private whilst the Palace and Formal Gardens remain open to the general public, clearly demonstrates the lexibility of the venue. Visitor access to the event area is a short walk via the Snake gate which connects directly with the parking area. A separate entrance is available for speedy and eicient set-up and dismantle.

Accessibilit y Blenheim Palace is situated in the picturesque and historic town of Woodstock, 8 miles North West of Oxford on the A44 Evesham Road, approximately one hour’s drive from both London and Birmingham. Stratford-upon-Avon is only 45 minutes away and locations such as Manchester and Leeds now become easily accessible. Approaching Oxford on the M40, exit at junction 9 and follow signs to Blenheim Palace. From other directions take the A44 exit from the Oxford by-pass. There is unlimited free car parking at the venue. The nearest main line train station is Oxford which is approximately 20 minutes away and shuttles will be available to take exhibitors and guests to and from the event. For those attending from further aield, there is the option of arriving by helicopter or indeed private jet with Oxford Airport and the smaller private airport 5 minutes away, making the event more accessible for both UK and overseas guests than ever before.

Lo ca l A menities Salon Privé is set to become a destination event; an event to which people drive and should they wish, stay overnight in 1 of the 40 plus local hotels. Historic Woodstock, with its beautiful boutique shops, restaurants and hotels, sits alongside Blenheim Palace and is just a short walk from the event.
