2023 is shaping up to be a great year for events at Beaulieu, with next year’s dates announced for the attraction’s packed events calendar*. With the return of successful and much-loved shows, as well as a newcomer to the Simply rally line-up, there will be plenty to excite and entertain at Beaulieu in the year ahead.

Motor enthusiasts are in for a treat with no less than 15 Simply rallies to look forward to. Brand new rally Simply Tesla on Sunday 1st October, which is sure to be a hit with drivers of these trend-setting EVs, will be joining the Simply line-up, which gets underway with the hugely popular Simply Aston Martin on Sunday 2nd April. Simply Italian, which added Italian zest to the calendar with its introduction last year, will return on Sunday 23rd April, while the huge gathering that is Simply Japanese will take place on Sunday 23rd July.

A huge hit when launched in 2021 and already a favourite with gardeners, BBC Gardeners’ World Spring Fair will be returning to the Beaulieu event fields from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th April. This green-fingered paradise will be packed with flower displays and plants to buy, inspirational Beautiful Borders and gardening supplies for sale, plus the BBC Good Food Market, street food, musical entertainment and more.

The Custom and American Show on Father’s Day Sunday 18th June will bring together all manner of eye-catching motors, from glitzy American classics, to jaw-dropping hot rods. While family favourite Beaulieu Supercar Weekend on 5th and 6th August will be following in the tyre-tracks of last year’s high octane event, celebrating the high performance side of motoring.

Following its successful return in 2022, Spring Autojumble will be back on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th May with vibrant car club displays and tonnes of motoring treasures on offer. While its even bigger sibling, International Autojumble on 2nd and 3rd September, will be back for a huge weekend of buying and selling action, with hundreds of stands to browse for bargains.

Beaulieu Events Manager Charlotte Mountain said: “We’re really looking forward to 2023, with the new year jam-packed with events that are sure to delight show-goers and Beaulieu visitors. Just as 2022 was a terrific season, which saw people get back out and about again following the restrictions of the previous years, we’re sure that the year ahead is going to be just as enjoyable.

“The Simply rallies continue to go from strength to strength, and new addition Simply Tesla is sure to attract a lot of attention from fans and drivers of these class-leading EVs. While Volkswagen fans are sure to enjoy Sunday 13th August, when Simply VW and VW T-Chill will both be taking place in the grounds of the National Motor Museum, for the first time ever.”
