Simply Ford returned on Sunday 18th August 2024. All Ford owners were invited to drive into Beaulieu to park up in the museum grounds, for a day out that owners and enthusiasts enjoyed.
All ages and models of Ford were at the show, which provided a great opportunity to admire some stunning vehicles on display. No matter if it was a Mustang or a Fiesta, a Zodiac or a Focus, a Transit or an Escort, all were welcome.
All participants had the opportunity to be chosen as the winner of the People’s Choice Award, selected by public vote. Prizes were awarded to the winner and runners-up.

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.
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.
