A unique event in an historic setting. The Cholmondeley Pageant of Power is a weekend-long celebration of the very best in historic sports and racing cars, historic motorcycles, classic boats and powerboats including the infamous ‘ThunderCat Racing’ and helicopters. It all takes place in the grounds of glorious Cholmondeley Castle (pronounced Chumley) situated on the A49, in the rolling pastures of south Cheshire, mid-way between Whitchurch and Chester.

This is the inaugural Cholmondeley Pageant of Power and is destined to be the most exciting extravaganza of speed in the UK – so make sure you share in the excitement of this unique event.

CLASSIC AND CURRENT INSHORE CIRCUIT RACING POWERBOATS ON THE MERE

The Cholmondeley Pageant of Power includes a fascinating array of Classic and current Inshore Circuit Racing Power Boats that will be racing, parading, giving rides and demonstrations throughout the weekend.  The high speed programme on the Mere in the grounds of Cholmondeley Castle will start in earnest at noon on the Saturday and go on until 6 after which we will be giving boat rides for local Charities. On the Sunday the action will start from 10am when there will be tests done on the new F1 2 seater Hellcat Press Boat that is capable of 0-100 mph in 4.5 seconds. It is hoped this will excite the braver men of the Press and possibly one or two local celebrities.

The 2-day programme will include ThunderCat racing action-packed RYA National Championship racing,  the RYA Junior National Class who will do 2 heats on each day as a round of the National Championship and then an Invitation Scratch Race late on Sunday. The other National Classes on show will be the little kneeler OSY Hydroplanes who will also be out at least 5 times over the weekend, plus their practice sessions. This class will include the current reigning World Champion.
