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…

TICKET PRICES AND INFORMATION

Don't forget your ticket includes entry to all the Beaulieu attractions as these extra activities are included in your admission fee!

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.

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.

What’s on

TOP TRUMPS

Visitors could join in the fun with our exciting, motoring-themed Top Trumps trail! They could follow the map to uncover the giant cards hidden around the attraction, and pick up a pack of our exclusive Beaulieu Top Trumps from the gift shop on their way out!
CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG

Rides in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang are back for 2026! Starting from the Easter holidays, you have the chance to book your own ride* in this eye-catching “fine-four-fendered friend” for a spin around the grounds and bring movie magic to life! (*extra charges apply)
THE CIRCUS ROOM

Lord Montagu unveiled the Circus Room for Easter visits to Beaulieu in tribute to his mother after recently opening a new set of themed rooms in Palace House. Visitors could see the Circus Room as part of their Easter visit, as well as all the newly refurbished rooms in the former private wing of Palace House.
LIVING HISTORY

Keep an eye out for friendly living history around the site, including the mechanic in the National Motor Museum and the Cook in the Victorian kitchen of Palace House.
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.

All of our school holiday activities (excluding phantasmagorical rides) are included in your general admission ticket, which gives entry to all the Beaulieu attractions, including The National Motor Museum, Palace House, We Had One of Those, Beaulieu Abbey and the Secret Army Exhibition.

A must visit museum if you're in the New Forest, loads to see and will easily fill a day. Thanks to all at Beaulieu for a great visit.

Beaulieu is one of my favourite places to visit when I'm in the UK and I think I can now say it is the same for my daughter. Very highly recommended for anyone of any age.

Wonderful! A collection of things (museum of cars from all times and many types, castle, garden, mini castle- playground for children, old abbey)! Beaulieu is a place that must be visited and admired

We had a lovely time in the National Motor Museum reminiscing about the cars we've owned. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Beaulieu and the National Motor Museum were an excellent way to spend a cold, wet Sunday in January, but I imagine it would be a great day out in any weather!
