Custom & Hot Rod Festival - Sunday 15 June 2014
On Father’s Day, Sunday 15 June, bring Dad to Beaulieu for a fun-filled family day out at the Custom & Hot Rod Festival. This popular event, in association with Victory Wheelers, the South Coast’s leading Custom, American and Hot Rod club, features colourful displays of hundreds of custom cars and motorcycles, live music and entertainment, as well as all the features of the Beaulieu attraction.
Anyone owning a Hot Rod, Custom or Classic American car or motorcycle can drive to Beaulieu and display their vehicle alongside hundreds of others in the beautiful grounds of the National Motor Museum.

You can also browse a number of trade stands selling clothing, Americana memorabilia, merchandise, accessories and the latest custom magazines.
Visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite vehicle in the People’s Choice Award, sponsored by Willydog Hotdogs, with the winner receiving a special trophy in an afternoon prize-giving ceremony. Prizes will also be awarded in a number of categories to include Best In Show and Best In Class.
