Join us on 20 July 2025 for a show of automotive finery, all built around The Ascent. Watch a stunning array of variety power their way up the hill, all set in the scenic Wiltshire countryside.
What to expect:
Ascent runs: Drivers will be pushing their cars to the limit, with displays of speed and precision.
Up-close access: Spectators will have the chance to get up close to the cars in the paddock area and experience the atmostphere as the action unfolds.
Celebrity showcase: We are thrilled to be joined by professional race driver and Grand Tour test driver Abbie Eaton. She will be conducting her own runs up the hill, as well as a hosted Q&A session during the day!
Best in Show: Crowd votes will decide which show car is deserving of the Best in Show!
Family-friendly atmosphere: There will be food and drink vendors, merchandise stalls, a trade fair, and designated viewing areas for a fun-filled day out.
Perfect for all car enthusiasts: The Ascent is the ultimate leveller. Whether a high power supercar, or a fully built ride, there is nowhere to hide on the hill!
