Bluebird K7 - The Festival

Bluebird K7 will take to Coniston Water again in an event to commemorate 70 years since Donald Campbell achieved his first world water speed record on Coniston Water.

Bluebird K7 returns to Coniston Water in May 2026 for a spectacular celebration of speed, heritage and music. Watch the legendary hydroplane run again on the water where history was made, bringing Donald Campbell’s iconic craft back to life in her spiritual home. Throughout the week there will be a wide range of family-friendly activities on and around the lake and opportunities to soak up the atmosphere of this unique setting. At the weekend, as the sun goes down, enjoy a vibrant programme of live concerts, making this an unforgettable week for motorsport fans, music lovers and visitors of all ages.
