About Royal Bahrain Concours 2026

The Royal Bahrain Concours is a concours d'elegance held at the Royal Golf Club in Riffa under the patronage of HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. It is organised by Thorough Events, the team behind the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace and the London Concours, in partnership with the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority.

After its first edition in 2025, the event expands to two days in 2026. The official listing describes 40 collector cars from significant GCC collections and 20 more from around the world, alongside around 200 members' cars from the region's leading car clubs. Classes run from Pre-1940 Cars to Supercars, Hypercars and Le Mans Cars.

Friday is Showcase Day, with every competing car on display plus live music and food. Saturday is Awards Day, with judging results, the awards ceremony and the Best in Show presentation. It suits classic and supercar fans, families with an interest in motoring, and anyone looking for a smart day out in Riffa.
