Concours of Elegance 2026: Where to Eat Near Hampton Court Palace
Posted On September 01, 2026 by Admin
There are few settings more fitting for exceptional automotive design than the gardens of Hampton Court Palace. From 4–6 September 2026, the Concours of Elegance returns to this remarkable historic setting, bringing together 60 of the world's rarest motor cars for three days devoted to craftsmanship, design and motoring heritage.
For those making a day of the occasion, the experience need not end at the Palace gates. In East Molesey, Indian Panorama offers a considered setting for lunch before the Concours or dinner once the day's displays draw to a close.
Regional Indian cooking, thoughtful hospitality and an inviting dining room make it a natural addition to a day shaped by detail and occasion.
The Concours of Elegance takes place in the gardens of Hampton Court Palace from Friday 4 September to Sunday 6 September 2026.
The event brings together 60 extraordinary and exceptionally rare motor cars. Across the three days, they are joined by nearly 500 additional luxury and performance cars, creating one of Britain's most distinctive celebrations of automotive craftsmanship, design and innovation.
The Concours is scheduled from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Friday and Saturday and 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM on Sunday.
