VauxALL – the show that celebrates every Vauxhall, Opel and Bedford – is returning to Beaulieu on Saturday 26 September 2026.
All Vauxhall, Opel and Bedford owners are invited to drive into the museum grounds for VauxALL South, an end-of-season celebration that promises a fantastic day out for enthusiasts and families alike.
All models, regardless of age, specification or condition, are welcome, from classic Bedfords to modern Vauxhalls, vintage Opels to sporty VXRs. Whether you’re bringing a Max Power Nova, the family Insignia, your cherished Manta or the workhorse Vivaro, VauxALL South is the perfect opportunity to admire an incredible range of vehicles and connect with fellow fans.
VauxALL South is the final get-together for the entire Vauxhall, Opel and Bedford community of the 2026 season.
VauxALL South is proudly sponsored by Cherished Vehicle Insurance Services and Hendy Vauxhall. Both will be present on the day, with Cherished Vehicle Insurance Services offering advice and quotations for your vehicle, and Hendy Vauxhall bringing some of the latest models from the range to experience yourself.
All participants are invited to join club stands or display individually, with all vehicles in with a chance to win the Top of the Vaux, voted for by the public on the day. There will also be an Our Tim’s Opel Encore, chosen by Tim, and a Griffin Glory award for best club stand.
At 2pm, a hand-picked selection of vehicles will take part in our moving motorshow. Instead of sitting static in a traditional show-and-shine, these standout cars will drive through the main arena, with their owners chatting to our compere Tim about what makes them special. A highlight not to be missed!
So whether you’re showcasing your pride and joy or just soaking up the atmosphere, all are welcome – and in for a great day!

Trade stands are available – and are the most requested feature! In fact, in a post-event survey, 74% of show attendees said they wanted more trade. Every effort is made to offer exclusivity for each trade, offered on a first-come-first-served basis. Click here to book your trade stand.
Our Tim
Show organiser, YouTuber, and Beaulieu’s very own compère, Tim Watson, will once again be leading the day’s proceedings. He’ll be on the ground from the crack of dawn, capturing all the action, filming vehicle arrivals and highlights from around the show throughout the day. And, as always, the highlights video will be live on Our Tim’s YouTube channel the very same day – so make sure to subscribe to catch all the moments from VauxALL South.
DRIVING IN THE NEW FOREST
We are very lucky to be located in the heart of the New Forest, however this does offer up some unique hazards on the roads that require extra care as detailed in the Highway Code.
Please drive carefully and responsibly when attending our events and be aware of free-roaming animals and cyclists on the roads.
Due to the close proximity of our neighbours, please be respectful when entering and leaving the event.
