Beaulieu Events Manager Charlotte Mountain said: “We’re really looking forward to 2023, with the new year jam-packed with events that are sure to delight show-goers and Beaulieu visitors. Just as 2022 was a terrific season, which saw people get back out and about again following the restrictions of the previous years, we’re sure that the year ahead is going to be just as enjoyable.

“The Simply rallies continue to go from strength to strength, and new addition Simply Tesla is sure to attract a lot of attention from fans and drivers of these class-leading EVs. While Volkswagen fans are sure to enjoy Sunday 13th August, when Simply VW and VW T-Chill will both be taking place in the grounds of the National Motor Museum, for the first time ever.”
