Classic Team Lotus Garden Party Announced for 6-7 June, 2026
The Chapman family is pleased to announce the 2026 Classic Team Lotus Garden Party will take place over the weekend of 6-7 June at East Carleton Manor. The event this year is to be designed around an open timetable throughout the day which will enable guests to choose how their day is made up and will feature Team Lotus F1 cars through the years.
The 2025 Garden Party event was a resounding success; you can watch a film of the highlights here. Classic Team Lotus is developing the content to create another special occasion and some exceptional Lotus cars will be on display in the beautiful gardens. There will be a variety of exhibits throughout the grounds. Tickets to the 2026 event which are £120 can be purchased form our webshop.
The splendid Celebration of Hazel & Colin Chapman Heritage for 2026 will feature exclusive presentations of a new Classic Team Lotus book “Team Lotus – The Works F1 Cars."
Arrival from 09:30am, Guest reception will be in the forecourt of the Manor at 10:30am and selected cars will make demonstration runs on the driveways of the estate at around 12:00pm
On stage special guests will contribute to the varied programme of entertainments throughout the day. Guests will receive an event medal and a unique gift specially created for the event.
Hospitality will be a choice from either a selection of food and drink vendors – something for everyone – or guests are welcome to bring their own picnic. Lotus cars will enjoy preferred parking, and the opportunity for photography with the Manor as the backdrop.
Reaction to the 2023, 2024 and 2025 Garden Party events was outstandingly positive. Every effort is being made to ensure the Garden Party 2026 is another landmark occasion for the Lotus marque. All profits from the weekend will go to local charity in aid of The Care for Life at Home Fund in association with Priscilla Bacon Hospice.
