Beaulieu International Autojumble 2025: Britain’s Greatest Treasure Hunt

Beaulieu International Autojumble happens every September, something magical happens in the rolling grounds of the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, Hampshire. Petrolheads, tinkerers, collectors, and diehard motoring nerds descend like mechanical moths to a flame. Why? Because the Beaulieu International Autojumble isn’t just an event — it’s a pilgrimage.

Mark your calendars: Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th September 2025 — this is where rust turns to gold and every oil-stained part tells a story.

🚗 What is the Beaulieu Autojumble?

Imagine thousands of stalls sprawled across a countryside estate, each one brimming with rare parts, vintage tools, classic automobilia, ancient manuals, and strange treasures you didn’t know you needed until five minutes ago.

It’s not just a swap meet — it’s an open-air museum, a flea market, and a festival all rolled into one. Whether you’re restoring a barn-find Triumph, chasing an elusive badge for your Escort RS, or just love a good mooch with a bacon bap in hand — this is your spiritual home.

🔧 What’s There to See & Do?

Here’s the juicy rundown:

Over 2,000 stalls — Think carbs, chrome, clutch cables, badges, books, vintage signs, 8-tracks, you name it.
Automart & Dealermart — Fancy going home with a new (old) motor? From rolling projects to show-stoppers, there’s a deal with your name on it.
Bonhams Auction — Collectors’ cars, rare motorcycles, and high-end automobilia go under the hammer. Bring your wallet… and maybe your accountant.
Trunk Traders (Sunday only) — It’s the boot sale of your dreams. Real blokes (and a few savvy ladies) shifting their private hoards.
Classic Car Park — Drive in with your pre-2000 pride and joy, get a prime display spot, and maybe win a trophy.

🛒 Insider Tips from the Field

Get there early. The best bits go fast — the gates open at 08:30 sharp.
Bring cash. Not every seller is chip-and-pin savvy. There's an ATM, but queues are as long as a crankshaft.
Dress for success. That means waterproofs, boots, and something with pockets. Lots of pockets.
Bring a trolley or a mate with strong arms. You’ll buy more than you plan to. Everyone does.
Dogs allowed. As long as they’re on a lead and not into chewing 1962 Ford hubcaps.

🏁 Why It Matters

Beaulieu is more than just an event — it’s a living, breathing slice of British motoring culture. It's where barn finds get rescued, restoration dreams are born, and friendships spark over obscure headlight lenses.

Whether you're there to stock up, talk shop, find your next project, or just breathe in the two-stroke nostalgia, the Autojumble is an unmissable weekend for anyone who’s ever got grease under their fingernails.

Final Gear Change

Planning to go? Take the weekend off, load the van, and clear your garage. Because trust me — you’ll come back with treasure.
