This summer, Bolesworth International returns to the beautiful Bolesworth Estate in Cheshire for eight days of supercars, showjumping, street food and champagne in a dazzling seasonal spectacle for all ages.
Taking place from Fri 27 – Mon 30 Jun and Thu 3 – Mon 6 July, Bolesworth International presented by Al Shira’aa will showcase a mesmerising assortment of high-powered machines and prize horses. The UK’s first all-electric hypercar, the £2m Lotus Evija, headlines the Supercar Paddock, alongside the screaming V12 Lamborghini Revuelto and the plug-in hybrid Urus SE. Meanwhile, a star-studded cohort of equestrian luminaries and sporting legends will be in attendance throughout the event, with appearances from Olympian showjumper, John Whitaker MBE; Double Olympian showjumper, Geoff Billington; ITV racing presenter, Oli Bell; Great Britain hockey gold medalist, Sam Quek, and former professional England footballer Steve McManaman. Plus, Gemma Owen, equestrian medallist and TV personality, will be judging the Style Day.
Elsewhere, Britain’s finest working trucks will be on display for Bolesworth’s exclusive Super Truck Show & Shine competition, judged by a celebrity panel, while crowd-pleasing equestrian contests including the gravity-defying Puissance, Mini Major Fancy Dress Pairs and the family-favourite Shetland Pony Grand National, with cash prizes, trophies and national bragging rights up for grabs.
Other family highlights include a Kids Zone packed with fairground rides, exotic animal encounters and face-painting, with craft cocktails, gourmet food trucks, live music, all-day dining at the sophisticated Castle Restaurant and a dedicated lifestyle shopping village for parents and grandparents.
If you’re looking to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and grow your business, Bolesworth also offers a comprehensive hospitality and networking programme with a wide array of events including Women in Business (Fri 27 Jun), Equestrian Business Networking (Mon 30 Jun) and Business at Bolesworth (Thu 3 Jul), each hosted by pre-eminent experts and celebrities in their fields.
In the evenings, guests can enjoy a series of high-octane themed soirees, including the Puissance & Party Night with Furnace & the Fundamentals providing an eclectic blend of floor-filling tunes, and the Sporting Style Day, offering a £5,000 prize fund for best-dressed guests.
Nina Barbour, founder, Bolesworth International presented by Al Shira’aa, says: “The International isn’t just an event, it’s the event of the summer. Where else can you see Olympic showjumpers, Shetland pony racing, super trucks and a £2 million electric hypercar all in one weekend? This is where horsepower meets high society – and everyone’s invited.”
