The NM&Co insiders’ guide to must-do events for Aston Martin enthusiasts in 2026
This year we were once again spoiled for choice when it came to enjoying our Astons with fellow marque aficionados and anyone who just loved getting together and talking cars.
Getting out and about in your treasured Aston Martin is one of the best bits of ownership. We’ve had another terrific year visiting events, sometimes treating them as a driving holiday or enjoyable day out on the road, on other occasions taking the Eurostar or jumping on a plane.
Don’t forget the Essendonbury Farm Ten-Two Club meetings, but here are some suggestions on how to enjoy your car with other like-minded enthusiasts, or top-tier concours and historic race meetings that you can visit by car, train or aeroplane.
So, looking ahead to 2026, what’s coming up? Here’s a selection:
1st January 2026 | Brooklands, Surrey
Get your motoring year off to a flying start!
The perfect season-opener at the birthplace of British motor racing, the setting for many an Aston Martin triumph before WW2. If you drive a convertible, you must drop that roof – just the thing to blow the Christmas cobwebs away.
Bicester, Oxon | 11 January 2026
The meeting that started the trend for Cars and Coffee in the UK and is now such a sell-out you need to get in quick to secure a place. From pocket money VSCC Austin 7 trials cars to $20m McLaren F1 GTRs, Bicester has it all.
St Moritz, Switzerland | 30-31 January 2026
Did we say “need not be expensive” for Paris Rétromobile? The International Concours of Elegance (I.C.E.) is held in the billionaires’ playground of St Moritz so expect some serious bar bills. But, weather permitting (it was snowed off this year), The I.C.E. held on the frozen waters of the lake is an event like no other. When owners order new studded snow tyres for their $4m Lamborghini Miura P400 SVs, you get the picture.
Porte de Versailles, Paris, France | January 28 - 1 February 2026
We do not recommend driving to this one, but we thoroughly endorse the event. It’s the first major international meeting of the year and anyone who’s anyone will be in Paris. It’s so easy to get to (Eurostar and Metro, or a flight to Charles de Gaulle or Orly) and need not be expensive.
If you have never been before, it’s a must-do, with all the attractions of Paris thrown in. Allow two days.
The Golf Club of Amelia Island, Amelia Island, Florida, USA | 7 March 2026
“RADwood is a celebration of ’80s and ’90s lifestyle, blending period correct dress with automotive awesomeness.” That’s the take from the organisers, the enthusiasts working for US insurance giant Hagerty. It’s held in parallel with the respected Amelia Island Concours, now simply ‘The Amelia’, where half the field is Brass Era oldies, the other the best racing machines from the ’60s and ’70s.
Whether you are interested in the really old, icons of motor racing or the motoring equivalent of wide-shouldered jackets and Lady Diana haircuts, make the trip to Florida and you will get a lot of bang for your buck. It’s so amazing!
Concord, North Carolina, USA | 11 April 2026
“RADwood is a celebration of ’80s and ’90s lifestyle, blending period correct dress with automotive awesomeness.” That’s the take from the organisers, the enthusiasts working for US insurance giant Hagerty. This time it joins the Heritage Invitational at Ten Tenths Motor Club.
Whether you are interested in the really old, icons of motor racing or the motoring equivalent of wide-shouldered jackets and Lady Diana haircuts, make the trip to North Carolina!
Goodwood, West Sussex | Members’ Meeting 18-19 April 2026
It’s Goodwood – need we say more?
Grandey's Place, Much Hadham | 26 April 2026 11am-3pm
Grandey's Place is hosting a special event in partnership with the Aston Martin Owner's Club, bringing together Aston Martin enthusiasts to celebrate British heritage while supporting a new generation of skilled craftspeople.

Bicester, Oxon | 26 April 2026

Nicholas Mee & Co, Essendonbury Farm, Hatfield | 16 May 2026
Our first meet up for 2026. All visitors (and all makes of cars) are welcome to join us for an informal gathering of like minded enthusiasts, a freshly roasted, barista served coffee, hot food and to have a wonder around our showrooms and workshops.

Villa d’Este, Como, Italy | 15-17 May 2026
The world’s most glamorous event where what you wear from neck to toe counts as much as what car you turned up in. The cars on display at Villa d’Este are the most elegant, unusual and often most valuable in the world. Saturday is essentially a by-invitation private event, but Sunday is given over to the public and for a nominal figure you can enjoy all the cars on static display at nearby Villa Erba. Later in the day they are presented in the grounds of the villa by urbane, multilingual MC Simon Kidston.
Either drive to Como and stay in the Italian Lakes for a few days, or fly to Bergamo, get a chauffeur from the airport to Como (where hotels are not expensive) then hop on a scheduled passenger ferry (14 minute-trip every 45 minutes or so in daytime, around €3) from Como to Cernobbio.
Sonoma, California, USA | 29-31 May 2026
This is a great event held in the heart of California wine country. Think of it as the Goodwood Festival meets the Monterey Historics. Coming from across the pond, expect to see racing cars run on display laps or against the clock that you’d unlikely see in Europe. Cars such NASCAR and IMSA GTPs, as well as the best F1 and sports-racing machinery from before WW2 to the late 2010s.
Alnwick Castle, Northumberland | 6-7 June 2026
Members are warmly invited to the Club for its second visit to the historic venue of Alnwick Castle, in the north of England. The weekend will feature a Champagne Reception and Dinner on Saturday 6 June; a Buffet Lunch on Sunday 7 June; and of course the Concours itself on Sunday 7 June.
Royal Artillery Club, London | 9-11 June 2026
We have supported the London Concours since its inception and cannot recommend it highly enough.
Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France | 10-14 June 2026
Now over 100 years old, the Le Mans 24-hour race is the ultimate test of endurance and sees the return of some big-name manufacturers in Hypercar class : Aston Martin, Alpine, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Peugeot, Porsche and Toyota.
Wilton House, Salisbury | 19-21 June 2026
Set within the historic grounds of Wilton House, the Concours des Legendes is a new three-day celebration of automotive heritage. Blending the elegance of a traditional concours with the atmosphere of a cultural festival, the event is set to bring together exceptional classic cars and the stories behind them. All showcased through curated displays, speaker programmes, exhibitions and live demonstrations.
A welcome addition to the summer events calendar, set within exceptional surroundings.
The British Motor Museum, Gaydon | 21 June 2026
2026 celebrates 25 years of the Vanquish model. Now in its third generation - as of 2024 - the model remains Aston Martin's flagship. To mark the occasion, the Aston Martin Owners Club have booked a day of celebration at The British Motor Museum for all Aston Martin enthusiasts to join them (Members and Non Members are welcome). There will be a dedicated display celebrating the marque and all Aston Martin cars will benefit from a dedicated Aston Martin only parking area.
Heveningham Hall, Suffolk | 27-28 June 2026
Set within the picturesque parkland of Heveningham Hall in Suffolk, the Heveningham Concours is a celebration of automotive excellence, taking place alongside the wider Heveningham Hall Country Fair. Showcasing a carefully curated selection of motor cars, the concours places emphasis on originality, design and provenance. Alongside the automotive displays, a selection of historic aircraft will be on display, with some taking to the skies throughout the day!
Lake Tegernsee, Southern Germany | 4-5 July 2026
A long drive through picturesque southern Germany south of Munich, almost to the borders of Austria. No doubt some unlimited sections of motorway, beer, sausages and gorgeous classic cars – we like the sound of that. And it’s organised by the team that handles the standard-setting Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court.
Hatfield House | 5 July 2026
Following the success of the previous joint Aston Martin Owners Club and Ferrari Owners Club displays, both clubs have been invited back by Hatfield Park to put on a static display of classic and modern Aston Martins and Ferraris.
If you would like to attend this event please contact AMOC Area 12 rep, Simon Newton.
Nicholas Mee & Co, Essendonbury Farm, Hatfield | 11 July 2026

Goodwood, West Sussex | Festival of Speed 9-12 July 2026
It’s Goodwood – need we say more?
Grantley Hall, Ripon, North Yorkshire | 13-16 July 2026
Speaking of driving roads, North Yorkshire has some stunning topography and it’s a wonderful place to be at the wheel of an Aston. This is a relatively new event and the location looks impressive.
Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire | 25 July 2026
“It’s not beige, it’s Harvest Gold.” So ran a sign at last year’s Festival, the Hagerty-sponsored tribute to everything ordinary – and sometimes just plain naff – produced for the masses mainly in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. If that amuses you, as it did us, do make the trip to Lincolnshire next summer. While you are there, check out the local town Bourne, formerly the home of British Racing Motos (BRM).
Walton Heath Golf Club, Hampshire | 8 August 2026
A new show for 2026, hosted by Walton Heath Golf Club. Around 150 cars, both classic and modern, will be on display, with various categories being judged and prizes awarded. A family friendly day out, the event is open to car enthusiasts of all ages, with food and drinks on sale, and musical entertainment throughout the day. All funds raised during the event will be donated to the charity, Laureus Sport for Good.
Better yet, we will be there exhibiting!
Beaulieu, Hampshire | 23 August 2026
The clue is in the name – a great event dedicated to our favourite marque. One of the best things is the drive down through the beautiful New Forest.
Hampton Court Palace, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames | 4-6 September 2026
Quite simply THE concours event of the year in the UK, one standing tall with Pebble Beach and Villa d’Este. Going on Friday, Preview Day, is more expensive but worth the outlay. We always attend and meet so many friends there the time just disappears. A dramatic setting, easy access and parking and – generally – fine weather with a drop dead gorgeous selection of cars, the Concours of Elegance has it all.

It’s Goodwood – need we say more?

Two venues; Warwickshire and Bedfordshire | All Year Round (but booking in advance is required)
Back in 2023, Caffeine and Machine opened their second venue, located close to the Millbrook testing facility in Bedfordshire and handily about 45 minutes drive away from Essendonbury Farm.

Their physical spaces are designed to be all things to all people – they’re a place to enjoy wonderful food and drink, soak up an ever-eclectic display of brilliant machinery, and above all else, come be around friends, whether they’re ones you’ve known for years or ones you didn’t know you had yet.
