The Kop Hill Climb Festival in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire is a unique two-day event, organized totally by volunteer automotive enthusiasts. This wonderful mix of festival and commemorative hill climb for cars and motorcycles raises funds for local charities and projects on behalf of Heart of Bucks. An incredible amount of over $1 Million to date!
Kop Hill is one of the oldest Hill Climb venues in England. The first recorded races were in 1910. It became a major event on the motorsports car and motorcycle calendar and many famous drivers and riders of the time, including Malcolm Campbell, Raymond Mays, Henry Segrave, and Count Zborowski raced up the hill. The last event was in 1925 when as a result of an accident with a spectator, the RAC banned all motorsport on public roads. Today Kop Hill is a public road and is closed to traffic during the event, which is an untimed commemorative run.
So what can you expect from this year’s Festival? Well if it's cars and bikes, then the hill will be packed with both, with commemorative runs celebrating motoring through the ages from the early 1900s to modern-day exotics. Over 400 historic cars and motorcycles, each day will be taken on the famous hill. Many more will be on display in the Paddock, where you can get up close to the vehicles and drivers. Why not buy a Grandstand ticket and get a unique vantage point to view all the action including:
Austin 7 Cavalcade - celebrating the 100th year since the Austin 7 will launch with a special cavalcade each day including:
- Lotus 70th Parade from 1950s to present day
- Ferrari 75th Anniversary parade
- 12 crowd-pleasing Hot Rods!
- Edwardian racers
- The McLaren Speedtail and the Ferrari SF90 Fiorano Spider.
Enjoy the full-service food court while taking in live music performances. Then browse the many exhibitors including art, clothing, and memorabilia.
