Details about Easter at Beaulieu 2027 will be available soon, so keep an eye out on our webpage and social media!
Hop into spring this Easter at Beaulieu! Visitors to Beaulieu during Easter 2026 were one of the first to see the transformed entrance to the National Motor Museum, as well as brand-new gallery Driven: Britain’s Motoring Story!
Plus, visitors could explore our exciting car-themed Top Trumps trail, it was their last chance to see some special guests in the National Motor Museum, they met friendly living history around the site and took part in extra activities over the Easter weekend! There’s so much to enjoy…
Driven: Britain’s Motoring Story
The National Motor Museum’s new gallery Driven: Britain’s Motoring Story opened for Easter 2026, and tells the story of how motoring shaped Britain, from fearless early pioneers to the cars, people and moments that transformed everyday life.
The new exhibition has remodelled the entrance hall and upper gallery of the Museum – one of the most significant changes to the Museum since it was built in 1972. Five sections explore the eras of motoring with personal stories to surprise, engage and inspire, along with fun interactive elements.

little beaulieu
Let imaginations run wild in Little Beaulieu this spring! Kids found secret passageways to explore, treetop walkways to conquer, a zip wire to whoosh down and plenty of climbing and imaginative play opportunities to burn off energy.
EASTER WEEKEND
Those who visited us over the Easter weekend took part in even more fun activities, and they even spotted the Easter Bunny hopping around the attraction! They could head down to Palace House, decorated in bright seasonal splendour, to take part in more fun Easter craft activities and help decorate the Easter tree.
