The Ayrburn Classic is back for 2027, and tickets are on sale now

In February, the lawns of Ayrburn will once again become one of the country’s most compelling meeting points for automotive design, engineering and collecting, as the Ayrburn Classic returns to Central Otago from 19th to 21st February 2027. This edition introduces the inaugural Ayrburn Classic Concours Class, proudly presented by Hartfield Jewellers, adding a new layer of distinction to a weekend already defined by exceptional cars, design and hospitality.

Inspired by the great international concours events, the new class will bring 40 carefully selected automobiles from New Zealand and beyond to Billy’s Lawn, where each will be judged across presentation, provenance, craftsmanship, rarity and significance. Best in Show will headline a series of awards, while the wider weekend continues to extend well beyond motoring alone, drawing design, fashion, food, art and hospitality into the experience.

Hartfield’s presence will continue beyond the Concours itself, with a dedicated display and presentations from Chaumet and Pasquale Bruni inside Billy’s Drawing Room, introducing fine jewellery into a setting shaped by the same appreciation for provenance, artistry and exceptional objects.
