Lord Cholmondeley has announced that this year’s Cholmondeley Pageant of Power will be held over the weekend 17th and 18th July 2010.  This will be the third festival at Cholmondeley Castle that blends high-octane action on track, water and air – a celebration of speed, nerve and flair with exceptional design and engineering.  

Collections of delectable contemporary and historic racing cars and bikes have been invited to compete on the demanding Cholmondeley Circuit.  The classes comprise Le Mans and Grand Prix cars plus aero-engined fire spitters and classic rally cars.  The bikes will feature a strong TT pedigree in addition to production superbikes.  The public will have the chance to see exceptionally rare and valuable vehicles racing with famous names behind the wheel.

On the water, powerboat action will include the powerful Formula 2 and 4 classes, together with 400cc ISO Seniors and Thundercats as part of the international racing circuit.

In the air, a wealth of helicopters will be joined by the Breitling display team and a host of other stunning aerobatic exhibitions.

The weekend will again include the Fireworks Concert and Military Tattoo on Saturday evening as the military aspects of the Pageant thrilled the crowds last year.  As a tribute to HM Armed Forces the event will be proudly supporting Help for Heroes.

Other displays and attractions will include the stunning Concours d’Elegance below the Castle, a colossal car club enclosure, off-roading, children’s activities, bars and a burgeoning shopping village.
