After a year of zoom meetings, this summer calls for something a little more spectacular when it comes to socialising. And what could be more luxe than an al fresco garden party featuring close to 100 classic and performance cars, superlative food from British caterer, Searcys, and buckets of Veuve Clicquot Champagne?
One of the first public events of the year, taking place between 8th – 10th June, The London Concours returns for the ultimate celebration of motoring, gastronomy, and luxury in the city. Taking over the iconic HAC and set to the backdrop of the historic Armoury House, home to the active British Army regiment and charity organisation, The Concours will transform the stunning five-acre Artillery Garden into a motoring paradise with more than £50m worth of the rarest collectible cars on display.
Concours is a true feast for the senses. Guests will indulge in impeccably curated seasonal menus designed by renowned British caterer, Searcys, whilst weaving between some of the most beautiful cars ever created, sipping on champagne and savouring delicate canapés.
With quality and indulgence at the heart of everything that Searcys do, VIP guests are invited to enjoy a seasonal lunch in the Searcys pop-up restaurant. Lunch will begin with a Veuve Clicquot Champagne reception, followed by a three-course menu with paired wines, coffees and petit fours. Typical British seasonal dishes include Searcys smoked salmon with caviar, candied fennel and apple; Roast Hereford beef with horseradish cream, new potatoes and pickled heritage radish salad; and a Summer pudding with macerated berries with citrus crème fraiche.
Alternatively, as the sun goes down over the city, evening guests can put WFH far behind them by joining Concours and Searcys for cocktails, Champagne and canapés, whilst viewing some of the world’s most desirable cars.
And, with London Concours presented by famous Swiss watch brand, Montres Breguet, visitors can also indulge in some upscale retail therapy with pop-up boutiques from some of the world’s most sought-after luxury brands.
The London Concours takes place at The HAC from Tuesday 8th June to Thursday 10th June. Tickets will only be available to purchase in advance, and guest numbers will be strictly limited to comply with social distancing guidance. To book, please visit www.londonconcours.co.uk/tickets/
