Bring your custom or American vehicle and soak up the atmosphere alongside the hundreds of vehicles on display. Custom motorcycles are also welcome!
Bring along your pride-and-joy for a Father’s Day to remember, with plenty of cars to see, live entertainment to enjoy and plenty of opportunities to get dancing! You’re sure of a fantastic day here at Beaulieu.
Can I bring my Vehicle?
This event welcomes all custom cars, American vehicles and custom motorcycles.
To be included in the display, vehicles should feature visible customisation. Please note that performance enhancements or internal modifications alone won’t be sufficient.
If you’re unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, we’re happy to help – just email events@beaulieu.co.uk with a few details and a photo of your vehicle.
All vehicle entries are assessed at the organisers’ discretion, and in some cases an upgrade may be required on the day if a vehicle does not meet the display criteria.
Prize Giving
A fantastic selection of awards will be presented throughout the day, including The People’s Best in Show, The Solent Renegades Choice, the Brian Ackland Memorial Award, and the Andy Saunders Award. Don’t forget to have your say, make sure you cast your vote for your favourite car in the People’s Best in Show Award!
The prize-giving ceremony takes place at 3.30pm in the Arena, so be sure to stick around, you could be heading home with one of the trophies! We’re proud to be sponsored by Vibrant Forest Brewery, the official Awards and Prize-Giving Sponsor.
New for this year: participants’ garage goods
Discover hidden gems and spare parts straight from fellow enthusiasts’ garages!
A dedicated corner of the event gives participants the chance to sell leftover parts from their latest creation, or those spare bits that have been gathering dust in the garage!
To join this trading corner, simply purchase your participant tickets online here and email events@beaulieu.co.uk for a display pass to use on the day.
Please note: all items for sale must be from your display vehicle only and confined to the immediate space around it. No gazebos, structures, or tables are permitted.
Got too many items to fit within your display vehicle? Find out more information on how to book a stand space within the event on our Exhibitors page.

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.
