Last chance to see The World of Top Gear exhibition at Beaulieu…

Beaulieu tells us…

(All words and photographs fro Beaulieu).

The World of Top Gear exhibition at Beaulieu will be closing on Sunday 3rd November, making way for the development of new visitor experiences at the attraction which is home to the National Motor Museum.

The exhibition has been a feature at Beaulieu for Top Gear fans and visitors since it opened in June 2009 and has welcomed over 5 million visitors and motoring enthusiasts, showcasing some of the most iconic and outrageous vehicles from the globally popular BBC series. The exhibition has been a fun-filled celebration of Top Gear’s unique brand of automotive ingenuity, creativity, and entertainment covering the variety of formats and presenter teams during the last fifteen years.

Visitors are encouraged to make the most of the final weeks of World of Top Gear before its closure at the end of the October half-term week. The exhibition is included as part of the standard Beaulieu admission ticket which also includes the National Motor Museum, the ancestral Montagu home Palace House and its grounds and gardens, 13th century Beaulieu Abbey, the Secret Army Exhibition and adventure play area Little Beaulieu.

The National Motor Museum remains dedicated to telling the stories of motoring through its world-class collection, celebrating both motoring heritage and innovation. The new plans will allow Beaulieu and the National Motor Museum to refresh its external exhibition space, bringing in more interactive displays for visitors to experience in 2025.

Jon Tee, Head of Visitor Experience & Operations at Beaulieu said “We are delighted to have welcomed so many visitors to enjoy World of Top Gear over the years. Its closure paves the way for new opportunities, allowing us to evolve and offer fresh experiences to our guests, of which we look forward to announcing further news early next year.

We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the BBC and the Top Gear brand and look forward to continuing that relationship and bringing future opportunities to Beaulieu for visitors to engage with content from the Top Gear online community and magazine.”
