Plan time for the displays and arena. The final programme, facilities and venue inclusions will be confirmed nearer the show.
Masters of Motoring Pride of Ownership Awards
Hoghton Tower uses a static-judging format. Space across the historic Tilting Greens and show field means we cannot run the usual drive-in Masters of Motoring arena or invite vehicles forward for individual arena judging. Instead, the judging team walks through the vehicle displays during the day.
1. Park and open your bonnet
If you would like your car to be considered for an award, park in your allocated display position and open the bonnet once the vehicle is safely settled. Vehicles without a bonnet, including motorcycles, should simply be presented ready for inspection.
2. Judges tour the show field
Masters of Motoring judges circulate around the displays throughout the day. There is no need to drive into an arena, queue for a judging slot or pay an additional judging fee.
3. Awards at approximately 3:00-3:30pm
Winners will be announced and prizes presented towards the end of the show at the small arena. Please listen for event announcements, as the exact presentation time may move slightly on the day.
This welcoming Pride of Ownership judging celebrates presentation, care, character and the story behind each vehicle. It is not a formal concours, and you do not need a flawless museum-piece restoration to take part.
In short: want to be judged? Open your bonnet and enjoy the show - the judges will come to you.
