he organisers of Canford Classic & Supercar Sunday are already gearing up for 2026 – still buoyed by the overwhelming success of this year’s move to Canford School.
The event, which has rapidly become Dorset’s fastest-growing automotive showcase, drew more than 5,000 visitors and featured over 700 cars in August – from rare classics to cutting-edge hypercars. The school’s sweeping parkland provided a suitably dramatic backdrop for what many are already calling the county’s most exciting motoring day out.
Among the standout stars were two Ferrari F40s – one earning the People’s Choice Award after its generous owner allowed children (and a few parents) to climb inside the £2 million icon.
The Aston Martin Valour and Valhalla made memorable appearances, alongside the ultra-rare Koenigsegg CCX, which proved a crowd magnet from start to finish. Bonhams Cars added extra glamour, displaying models worthy of any concours lawn, including the exquisite Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato. Event director Zander Miller, of Aperta Events, said: ‘The success of this year’s event at Canford was beyond anything we expected. To see so many incredible cars and passionate people come together in such a setting was a proud moment. We can’t wait to build on it for 2026.’
The next Canford Classic & Supercar Sunday returns on 23rd August 2026, with early-bird tickets and updates coming soon at apertaevents.com
Whether you’re a petrolhead, a photographer, or simply love the spectacle of beautiful engineering, this is one date already revving loudly on Dorset’s event calendar.
