Worcestershire Championship Challenge: under-16s go free
The Championship Challenge brings two days of motorsport to Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb in Worcestershire on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 August 2026. Gates open at 8am each day, racing begins at 9am and finishes at about 5.30pm. Advance adult tickets start at £17, while children under 16 enter free when accompanied by a full-paying adult.
The programme is aimed at car enthusiasts and motorsport fans, with the Inter Club championships and BHC National meeting spread across the weekend. Tickets are available online through the official Shelsley Walsh event page.
Which day offers which racing?
Saturday begins with an Inter Club meeting showcasing the contested interclub championships. The BHC National meeting also runs across both days, so weekend ticket holders can follow that programme throughout the event.
Sunday adds the Top 12 run-off, featuring the fastest cars from the meeting. Visitors choosing a single-day ticket therefore have a clear distinction: Saturday offers the Inter Club competition at the lower ticket price, while Sunday includes the fastest-car run-off. The advance weekend ticket covers both programmes.
Ticket prices for Saturday, Sunday and the weekend
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| Saturday advance | £17 |
| Saturday at the gate | £20 |
| Sunday advance | £22 |
| Sunday at the gate | £25 |
| Weekend advance | £35 |
| Children under 16 | Free |
Children do not need a ticket, but each child must attend with a full-paying adult. Booking ahead reduces the adult price by £3 for either individual day. The £35 advance weekend ticket is £4 cheaper than buying separate advance tickets for Saturday and Sunday.
The dates, opening times, programme and prices are confirmed by the Visit Worcestershire Events listing. Tickets and further event information are available from the official Championship Challenge booking page.
Food, overnight camping and site restrictions
Food and drink will be served daily in the Courtyard Restaurant and Bar. Further food options will be available on the hill and in the paddock, giving visitors alternatives during the racing programme.
Camping is available on Friday and Saturday nights at £20 per unit per night. Tents, caravans and motorhomes are accepted, with portable toilets and showers provided for campers.
Neither the source listing nor the supplied event information gives transport or accessibility details, so visitors who need those arrangements should check the official event page before travelling. Dogs are not permitted anywhere on the site, an important restriction to account for before booking.
