Radnor Hunt Concours d Elegance Returns for 2025

Radnor Hunt Concours d Elegance Celebrates Automotive Artistry

Set against the pastoral elegance of Chester County, Pennsylvania, the Radnor Hunt Concours d Elegance returns for its 28th annual celebration from September 5 to 7, 2025. More than just a showcase of exquisite automobiles and motorcycles, the event has matured into a full-fledged cultural affair—where timeless craftsmanship, storied engines, and community purpose converge.

Originally founded in 1997, the Radnor Hunt Concours d Elegance has become a fixture in the national collector car scene, drawing enthusiasts, restorers, racers, and socialites for three days of unparalleled mechanical splendor. Beyond the glitter of chrome and custom coachwork, the weekend supports a noble cause: Thorncroft Equestrian Center, a nonprofit dedicated to providing equine-assisted therapy to individuals with diverse physical and cognitive abilities.

Radnor Hunt Concours d Elegance Weekend Lineup

The Radnor Hunt Concours d Elegance opens on Friday evening, September 5th, with a lively BBQ reception beginning at 6 PM. Informal, festive, and flavorful, this kickoff is an ideal introduction to the weekend’s celebratory tone.

Saturday morning brings the Bill O’Connell Memorial Road Rally, a scenic tour through Chester County’s winding byways. The $225 entry includes breakfast, lunch, and an experience that reminds you why driving should be an event in itself. Saturday evening shifts into high gear with the Black Tie Gala, a sophisticated affair of fine dining, live music, and a silent auction amid previewed automotive artwork—perfectly marrying elegance with enthusiasm.

Sunday, September 7th, marks the main event: the Radnor Hunt Concours d Elegance itself. From 9 AM to 4 PM, the Radnor grounds transform into a curated gallery of rare and significant cars, motorcycles, and vintage horse-drawn carriages. General admission is $80, with special access tiers such as the MotorSport Park Admission at $95 per car and the Chairman’s VIP Club at $225, offering exclusive seating, a gourmet buffet, and private amenities.

Radnor Hunt Concours d Elegance Supports a Powerful Mission

Beyond the horsepower and polished chrome, the Radnor Hunt Concours d Elegance carries a deeper mission. All proceeds benefit the Thorncroft Equestrian Center, a pioneering institution in therapeutic horseback riding since 1969. Located in nearby Malvern, Thorncroft offers transformative programs for individuals of all abilities, championing physical rehabilitation, emotional growth, and inclusive competition—including preparing riders for the Paralympics.

With continued support from the Concours, Thorncroft’s legacy of empowerment through equine therapy expands, ensuring the healing bond between rider and horse remains accessible and impactful.
