Expect showjumping, Shetlands, supercars and plenty of street food
This June and July, the magnificent Bolesworth Estate in Tattenhall, Cheshire, welcomes the return of its renowned summer celebration; Bolesworth International 2025.
Between 27-30 June and 3-6 July, the grounds will host olympic show-jumpers, super cars, super trucks and more as hundreds of motorists, equestrians and fans gather for a spectacular showcase.
The ‘Supercar Paddock’ - presented by classic and performance car auctioneers, Hampson Auctions - is where guests can marvel at the Lotus Evija, the UK’s first all-electric hypercar. Supplied by luxury car dealer HR Owen, the £2m car boasts over 2,000 PS of power and has a top speed of 218mph.
Also in the Supercar Paddock, Lamborghini Manchester will debut two of their most thrilling creations at Bolesworth: Revuelto, the first High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) that combines V12 engine with electric motors to produce unparalleled hybrid performance; and the new Urus SE, its first plug-in hybrid Super SUV.
Horse fanatics can soak up the atmosphere with adrenaline fuelled live demonstrations from olympic showjumpers John Whitaker MBE and Geoff Billington. ITV racing presenter, Oli Bell, Great Britain hockey gold medalist, Sam Quek, and former professional England footballer Steve McManaman will also be involved in the event whilst equestrian medallist and TV personality Gemma Owen will be judging the Style Day.
Britain’s finest working trucks will also roll into the spotlight for Bolesworth’s Super Truck Show & Shine competition, taking place over both weekends. This high-octane showcase welcomes 20–30 impressive vehicles, all judged by a celebrity panel for exterior polish, interior styling, and sheer huge presence.
With cash prizes and trophies (plus national bragging rights) all on the line, Bolesworth International presented by Al Shira’aa is a spectacular celebration of horsepower in every form – from hand-built hypercars to chrome-wrapped hauliers. This year also marks Bolesworth’s historic return to CSI4* status, with the Al Shira’aa Grand Prix offering a staggering £100,000 prize pot.
Other crowd-thrilling competitions over the two weekends include the gravity-defying Puissance (a horse's ability to jump large obstacles in showjumping), the Mini Major Fancy Dress Pairs, and the Shetland Pony Grand National; a family-favourite that delights spectators young and old.
In addition to equestrian action and supercars galore, the Kids Zone offers fairground rides, exotic animal encounters, face painting, and hobby horse racing to keep youngsters entertained.
Guests can unwind with craft cocktails, gourmet food trucks, and live music, or browse the curated lifestyle shopping village featuring top British and equestrian brands.
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.”
Tickets start from as little as £5 per person and admission is completely free on Monday 30 June (booking fee applies).
