Beaulieu tells us…
Everyone’s favourite motoring treasure hunt is just around the corner, as Beaulieu prepares to welcome enthusiasts from around the world to its International Autojumble on 12th and 13th September. With advance ticket prices ending soon, visitors have until 11.59pm on 4thSeptember to secure their tickets at the discounted rate.
While much of the search for parts and motoring memorabilia now takes place online, Beaulieu’s International Autojumble continues to offer a uniquely hands-on experience. With thousands of items to discover, it provides an opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts, exchange knowledge, track down elusive parts and strike a bargain along the way.
With a host of things to see and do across the weekend, the famous autojumble fields remain at the heart of this iconic event. Stands will be packed with a wide range of motoring parts, tools, automobilia and collectables, from signs and manuals to model cars and bikes. Beyond the motoring wares, visitors can browse a variety of vintage and retro stalls offering clothing, furniture, homeware and more. The broad selection makes the event a great destination for vintage shoppers and bargain hunters, as well as avid motoring enthusiasts.
Exhibitors will have the added excitement of competing for the Best Stand Award. Each year, a winning stand is selected for best capturing the spirit of the show, with the successful exhibitor presented with a trophy at the event by Beaulieu. The trophy is kindly donated each year by Lolly Lee, daughter of the late, avid autojumbler Terry Lee, as a lasting tribute to her father and his passion for the Beaulieu autojumbles.
Away from the stands, visitors can admire the Classic Car Park, which has increased capacity this year to welcome even more stunning classic vehicles to the display. With a different selection on display each day, those attending both days will have the chance to see a fresh line-up of classics across the weekend. Each day, judges will choose their favourite vehicle from the display to receive the coveted Best in Show trophy.
Owners of pre-2000 vehicles of all makes, models and conditions are invited to join the display. As well as being a fantastic opportunity to display your pride and joy, tickets to display your classic car include direct access to the International Autojumble and full entry to the Beaulieu attraction. Classic Car Park tickets are available until Wednesday 9thSeptember, so there’s only a short time left to secure a place. Tickets can be booked here.
Adding to the buzzing atmosphere, autojumblers can enjoy a mix of live entertainment and demonstrations. Exhibitor Mark Walker will bring classic motorcycles to life with roller demonstrations at various points across the weekend, while Cyclekarts Great Britain Clubwill showcase a selection of their unique, home-built machines, inspired by pre-war racing cars. There will also be live piano performances from exhibitor Chubb Maxted Glover, adding a musical touch among the stands, while vinyl DJ Retro Grooves will be spinning classic tracks alongside a selection of food and drink, providing a great place to take a break and enjoy the atmosphere.
There’s even more for motoring enthusiasts to explore, with the Automart providing the perfect place for visitors to browse for their dream car. This dedicated area gives private sellers the opportunity to showcase their vehicles to a large audience of motoring enthusiasts, while prospective buyers can speak directly to the sellers. An Automart space also includes access to the International Autojumble across both days, as well as entry to the whole Beaulieu attraction. Book your space in the Automart here. Meanwhile, for pristine classics, the Dealermart brings together a selection of quality classic cars for sale from specialist dealers.
