We are delighted to announce the return of Simply Ford sponsored by Foray Motor Group on Sunday 6 June 2027.

All Ford owners are invited to drive into Beaulieu to park up in the museum grounds, for a great day out for owners and enthusiasts.

All ages and models of Ford are invited to join the show, which provides a great opportunity to admire some stunning vehicles on display.

Whether you own a Mustang or a Fiesta, a Zodiac or a Focus, a Transit or an Escort, all Fords are welcome.

All participants have the opportunity to be chosen as the winner of the People's Choice Awards, selected by public vote. Prizes are awarded to the winner and runners-up.

This event includes admission to all the Beaulieu attractions, which remain open until 6pm.

The Story Behind The Car At Simply Ford

The Story Behind the Car

We invited a small number of owners to join our show commentator Our Tim in the arena for a relaxed Q&A session at 1.30pm.

This was a chance to share the story behind their vehicle with visitors, whether it was a remarkable restoration, an unusual history, a memorable road trip, a rare model, or simply a car with a personal story worth telling.

Selected cars were invited to park on the arena display area and took part in a short informal chat with Tim at 1.30pm, where he explored the background of each car and what made them special!

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 that require extra care as detailed in the Highway Code.

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.
