Worcestershire’s Championship Challenge: under-16s go free
The Championship Challenge comes to Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb in Worcestershire on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 August 2026. Gates open at 8am, racing begins at 9am and each day is due to finish at about 5.30pm. Adult advance tickets start at £17, while children under 16 enter free with a full-paying adult.
The Visit Worcestershire Events listing confirms a two-day programme aimed at car enthusiasts and motorsport fans, combining interclub competition with the BHC National meeting. Tickets are available online through the Shelsley Walsh event page.
What is happening on each day
Saturday opens with an Inter Club meeting showcasing competitors from the interclub championships. The BHC National meeting also runs on Saturday and Sunday, so visitors attending either day will see part of the national programme.
Sunday has a distinct competitive highlight: a Top 12 run-off featuring the fastest cars. That makes the second day the clearest choice for visitors particularly interested in the weekend’s leading performers, while Saturday places more emphasis on the interclub championships.
No class-by-class timetable or individual running order has been published in the supplied listing. The confirmed schedule for both days is therefore the 8am gate opening, 9am racing start and approximate 5.30pm finish.
Saturday, Sunday and weekend ticket prices
| Ticket | Price per person |
|---|---|
| Saturday advance | £17 |
| Saturday at the gate | £20 |
| Sunday advance | £22 |
| Sunday at the gate | £25 |
| Weekend advance | £35 |
| Children under 16 | Free |
The £35 advance weekend ticket is £4 cheaper than buying separate advance tickets for Saturday and Sunday. The listing gives no gate price for a weekend ticket, so anyone planning to attend both days should check the online booking page before travelling.
Children under 16 do not need a ticket, but they must be accompanied by a full-paying adult.
Camping and food at Shelsley Walsh
Camping is available on Friday and Saturday nights at £20 per unit per night. Tents, caravans and motorhomes are accepted, and portable toilets and showers will be provided. This allows weekend ticket holders to stay for either or both event nights, although the source does not describe a separate camping-booking process.
Food and drink will be available daily in the Courtyard Restaurant and Bar, with further options on the hill and in the paddock. Dogs are not permitted anywhere on the site.
The supplied event information does not include accessibility arrangements or detailed transport guidance. Visitors who need either should consult the Shelsley Walsh Championship Challenge booking page for further information before attending.
