It’s bad news, folks, the 2026 Hawkstone International has been sadly cancelled due to the bad weather.
The full statement from the organisers is below:
Just minutes after we shared images of the circuit looking in great condition for the weekend, the heavens opened.
Following an emergency meeting of the committee at the Salop Club at 7pm, the difficult decision was made not to run the event this weekend.
The track was looking superb first thing this morning and the paddocks were holding up well. However, after the latest deluge — with more heavy rain forecast for tomorrow — it was agreed that the risk of proceeding was simply too high. In the interest of safety, and to avoid causing lasting damage to the venue for future events this season, the event has been cancelled.
The Club is understandably devastated. Everyone worked incredibly hard to make it happen and, with what was shaping up to be the strongest line-up in the event’s history, it promised to be one of the best yet. Unfortunately, the weather had other ideas.
We sincerely hope you will support the event next year when we return and try again.
