VauxALL South

  • 25th Sept 2027
  • 10am - 5pm

VauxALL South sponsored by Snows Vauxhall – the show that celebrates every Vauxhall, Opel and Bedford – is returning to Beaulieu on Saturday 25 September 2027.

All Vauxhall, Opel and Bedford owners are invited to drive into the museum grounds for VauxALL South sponsored by Snows Vauxhall, 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.

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 1.30pm, 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!

This event includes admission to all the Beaulieu attractions, which will remain open until 5pm.
