Can I turn up and pay on the day?

No, all trade must be booked in advance by completing and returning the relevant booking form with payment by 2pm the Thursday before the event. Confirmation must also be received from the events team to confirm you are booked in and your passes have been sent to you.


How many passes will I receive?

Stand spaces are sold as the following options and each stand includes 2 exhibitor wristbands, and 1 vehicle pass per stand purchased.*

Option 1: 3m frontage by 5m depth

Option 2: 6m frontage by 5m depth

*Multiple spaces can be purchased to create large stand space. All stand space is offered as 5m depth.


I haven’t received my wristbands and vehicle passes?

Please email us at events@beaulieu.co.uk or call 01590 614614 if you have not received your passes by the Friday before the event. Replacement passes can then be left at the gate to be collected on arrival.


Can I buy an extra ticket for an additional person that now wishes to join me?

Yes, if you need any additional wristbands or vehicle passes these can be added to your booking. Please call 01590 614614 to purchase any additional passes you need to your trade booking.


Where will my stand be located?

Trade stands at Simply events are located on grass alongside the arena. Additional stand spaces on the opposite field are also used on larger Simply Rallies when a higher volume of trade bookings are received. Stand location cannot be guaranteed as this depends on other traders booked in and the space available.


Where will I be parked?

Stand spaces are typically located on grass.

Stand spaces are sold as Option 1: 3m frontage by 5m depth or Option 2: 6m frontage by 5m depth. All items, including gazebos and vehicles, must fit within your stand space. Multiple stands can be purchased to create a larger stand space if needed.

Parking is available a short distance from the stand space for any vehicles/trailers that do not fit within the space. Stand spaces are adjacent to stallholders with a 1m gap between stalls, as such, please ensure you are able to drive into the space if the vehicle is to remain on site as we cannot guarantee your exact stand position.


Can I bring a gazebo?

Yes, you are welcome to bring a gazebo and anything else needed for your stand space. Stand spaces are sold as Option 1: 3m frontage by 5m depth or Option 2: 6m frontage by 5m depth. All items, including gazebos and vehicles, must fit within your stand space(s). Multiple stands can be purchased to create a larger stand space if needed.

Please ensure gazebos do not use stakes longer than 300mm in length due to underground facilities. Marquees cannot be erected on a stand space without prior approval. Please contact the events team by email events@beaulieu.co.uk if you would like to discuss options.
