Beaulieu is excited to announce its calendar of events for 2021*, with three brand new shows joining familiar favourites for a line-up of exciting, enjoyable shows to look forward to in the grounds of the National Motor Museum and Palace House.

With 27 Covid-secure events currently planned for the new show season, there will be plenty for all the family to do at Beaulieu, together.

High-octane two-day show Supercar Weekend will return on August 7th and 8th, while the greatly anticipated International Autojumble is set to follow on September 4th and 5th.
Beaulieu Managing Director Russell Bowman said: “As we all look towards the springtime with hopes that the virus will have lessened its grip on the world, we are planning to hold our much-loved motoring events once again, adding new shows to what promises to be an exciting calendar. Our 2020 Simply rallies were a socially-distanced success and I would like to thank everybody who attended. Visitors are in for a treat with a record line-up of 15 Simply rallies for the new season.”
