The Art of Horsepower
As well as world-class showjumping, the Al Shira’aa Bolesworth International presented a different kind of Horsepower.
A major addition for 2026 was The Drivers Lawn: a refined social heart where automotive culture took centre stage. Across the ten days, it hosted two distinct themed weekends, each exploring a different vision of horsepower.
The first, Classics Weekend, saw the launch of the inaugural Bolesworth Concours – The Art of Horsepower. A curated showcase of rare, historic and contemporary automobiles, the Concours brought together an exceptional collection of vehicles judged to the highest standards of automotive excellence.
The magnificent 1933 Standard Swallow SS1 Coupé claimed top honours as Best in Show, with each class winner receiving an exclusive bespoke art print commissioned especially for the inaugural Concours, a lasting celebration of automotive heritage and craftsmanship.
The second, Supercar Weekend, shifted the mood entirely, placing modern automotive innovation in the spotlight. Celebrating design, performance and contemporary luxury, the weekend featured an exceptional collection of supercars and performance icons, including the Ferrari 812 Competizione Aperta, creating a truly memorable showcase of modern automotive excellence.
