Car Gallery

A hundred years ago, cars were rare, expensive and slow. Some people doubted they would ever become a major mode of transport. Today we live in a world dominated – some would say ruled – by the car. In surveying this collection the evolution of the car can be seen; reflecting the changing times, trends, technology, and events. The exhibition is an eclectic mix - highlighting the art of motoring.

These cars are some of the most sought after models in Classic Motoring, presented to the highest standard, with some having undergone extensive restoration. As well as being classic examples of automotive technology, these cars tell an important story about the twentieth century. They represent the spectrum of automotive history, design and craftsmanship.

This private collector’s commitment to preserve and restore these vehicles, the efforts of the restoration team, is evident in this world class exhibit.

The WearableArt™ Gallery

All the garments on display have performed on stage in the annual Brancott Estate World of WearableArt™ Awards. The magical experience of the annual Brancott Estate WOW® Awards show is brilliantly translated to the gallery setting by the use of superb music, specially sequenced lighting and a cleverly introduced element of movement. Here you will truly appreciate the intricate detailing of these incredible creations up close.
