Wilton House opened its park to the first Concours des Légendes, a collector-car show with sixty speakers, among them Nick Mason and Brian Johnson, on stage.
Wilton Legends held its first edition at Wilton House in Wiltshire from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 June 2026. The Earl of Pembroke opened the park to a collector-car concours.
Henry VIII gave Wilton Abbey to William Herbert, the first Earl of Pembroke, after the Dissolution, and the family has held the seat since. Inigo Jones designed the state rooms, among them the Double Cube Room, lined with Van Dyck’s Herbert family portraits.
Billed as the Concours des Légendes, the event set a concours lawn beside a cultural festival. The lawn held 13 curated classes, including Ross Brawn’s Ferrari 250 GT SWB and Stirling Moss’s MG EX181. More than 60 speakers took its three stages.
Nick Mason and Brian Johnson shared the Legends Stage and left it to a standing ovation. Valentino Balboni, Richard Attwood and Andy Green also spoke.
The Artist Pavilion showed work by Stefan Johansson and Anna-Louise Felstead. On the Sunday the Earl led more than 80 supercars onto the showfield, and Dore & Rees sold cars including the unique Aston Martin Bertone Jet 2+2.
