Hi, due to work I might be out of the country, can I turn up on the day pay and gain entrance. Would like to bring my Vanquish
Tia

Hi, We would also like you to bring your Vanquish!,
Yes you can pay on the day, but the entrance fee is slightly higher and it is advised to pay cash, as to speed up entry.
We do hope you can make it

Is it a Tenner per person? or Per Car? Thanks

Hi, Unfortunately its £10 per adult and £5 per child (in advance) if showing your P+J I'm afraid . But compared to a visit to the museum on a normal day its £20 per adult and £9.95 per child
Many thanks for your question, I'm sure others were curious about the pricing

Hi all, not long to go now (2 weeks tomorrow).
We just wanted to remind you that places for the photo op are still up for grabs, but they will be gone soon (maximum 50)
if you want a photo next to the 'Die Another Day' Jaguar then please open the link below and make register with your £20 donation.
A massive thank you to all that have donated.

Also we encourage you to purchase your entry tickets in advance on line, as 1- its cheaper, 2- we know roughly how many cars to expect and Beaulieu can allocate staff and 3- it will speed up the entry into the show areas as you will only need to show the 'e ticket' and that's it.
Many thanks
Jamie and Shelly

Hi all, We have spoken to Mike from the Crown Stirrup in Lyndhurst and he is willing to do a BBQ on the Sunday evening for anyone interested, and Mike is doing the breakfast in the car park in the morning also.
If you are interested then please let us or Mike know and look forward to seeing you

Hi All,

It is with great sadness that Andy Frost will now not be able to join us at the Pride and Joy Show. As people who follow Andy know, he has had trouble this year getting his sponsor and ultimately sorting out his engine for RV3. It is not complete so is not safe to move the car as it stands.

We obviously do not want Andy to risk damage to his fantastic car so we wish him well and hope that he will get his car back on the road soon and hope that in the future he will be able to come to the next Pride and Joy Show.

The Show will still be great and we have many other fantastic cars for everyone to see on the day.

All signed up - looks like a fantastic day!

How much are the raffle tickets so I know to bring plenty of cash!!

Hi there will be two raffles. One for the Top Gear Tickets, Short Break to Belgium etc and then one the three special cars giving a Passenger ride out on the day.

The cost is £1 per ticket for either raffle and also do not forget we have the Sporting Bears there too doing Dream Rides in some fantastic cars ( although I know that the Sporting Bears have a card machine). Lots to do on the day.

Hi All,

Another fantastic raffle prize to announce for those of us who like football as well as our cars.

Two tickets to visit Soccer Saturday during the live show. This will obviously be on a Saturday and will be arranged with the Shows PA for a mutually suitable date for your visit during the football season.


All details will be given to the winner.

Prizes are looking really good !

Guys, how does this work? You arrive at the gate and they opt to put you into a pride and Joy paddock/area or what? If so, can you leave when you like? Is it all cars mixed up or same marques together?

Hi yes you can leave when you want too but please bear in mind that we have a fun filled day and hope that you will like to stay with us and see the World Record get broken and the raffle rides in the three special cars will be drawn at 2pm. Three Car club have asked to be together such as the Wessex Ferrari Car Club but on the whole all of the cars will be mixed together. We have the Dealers section but 99% of the cars will be parked as you arrive just like the Sunday Services.

You can either arrive at the Gate at Beaulieu or you are more than welcome to join one of the convoys that have been arranged if you want a little bit of fun before the show. Hope this helps.

Hi All

What time will the convoy leave the car park in Lyndhurst?

Hi, I will be at the car park from about 8am and will be leaving between 9 and 9;10am, so plenty of time for food and drink and chit chat. I think there will be some great cars meeting there, and I am hoping to get photos/video of the cars as they drive through the forest.

Hi

Something special for the day. Fiona Easterby will be bringing the fabulous Pedro to the Show and will also be doing a book signing session for her book Beetle Drive. so you can have a photo taken by the famous car and also take home a signed book as a keepsake.

For those of us who do not know Fiona here is a little bit about her.

Fiona is a Camera Operator for Sky TV in the UK. She has travelled extensively for both work and pleasure; from a season working on the Formula One motor racing to walking with Lions in Zimbabwe. Fiona first combined her passion for travel with her love for cars in 2006 when she bought an old Beetle for £99; then drove it across the Sahara desert! Since then she has driven a Nissan Micra to Mongolia and a Fiat Panda around Italy. Then came the epic journey in a Beetle to Singapore, described by many as the ultimate motoring adventure. Since then she has driven a borrowed BMW E46 M3 around Wales and to the Netherlands, toured frozen Icelandic roads in a Nissan Micra and was lucky enough to drive Ferrari's in Norway and Denmark. She is always planning her next trip and will be away again as soon as funds allow. Fiona grew up in Hamble, on Britain's south coast; a sailing mecca. She stills spends much time in the village and when in London lives on a boat, to save getting too home sick

Looking forward to this, I will be down in the Drive Addiction R33 Skyline.

For those that don't know http://driveaddiction.com is a new website dedicated to informing car enthusiasts about local meets, events and clubs in their area. Actually found out about this event from the host posting on the site ^^

Hope to be tagging on to the end of either the Reading or Lyndhurst Convoy May even stop by for that BBQ on Sunday evening!

Look forward to meeting you all

Chris

Looking forward to meeting you and for anyone who has not used your site they should sign on as it is very good and also sends reminders to you so you never forget the shows/ meets that you want to go to. Have also met some very nice people through it too.

Hi guys

I'm Andy and I work at Beaulieu. I just wanted to mention a couple of things to you all before Monday. Firstly, massive congrats to Shelly for all the effort she has put in for this event - complete and utter dedication. Secondly, everyone at Beaulieu is hugely excited to welcome you all once again for the third pride and joy show.

I just wanted to update those who have donated money for the photo opportunity with the bond XKR. I have no easy way to say this but I have been told today that the XKR won't be able to feature for photos at the event, I have tried my absolute best to get this out of a new 'on screen cars exhibition' for the event but it is literally bolted to the floor and can't presently be moved.

I know this comes as hugely rubbish news to those who have donated to have their photo done with the car, especially the big bond fans amongst you, I can't apologise enough for this. Because of this I have been speaking to our museum manager to see if we can replace the XKR with another vehicle. After hearing about the superb generosity from you all he has agreed to send out our 1909 Rolls Royce silver ghost, one of our showpiece vehicles from our collection in the XKR's place. Due to the nature of the car, the Rolls rarely gets permission to leave the museum. I fully appreciate this is bad news to some but I hope the silver ghost can sort of make up for the bad news.

Shelly as mentioned earlier huge apologises for this

Andy

Hi All

I know for the Bond fans it will be sad news but for Beaulieu to allow one of their own Show pieces from the Museum. This car never comes out for any show so this is fantastic news for us and we are very grateful to them

On the Virgin Giving Page 18 people had put their name down and made a donation for the original photo and as a little something extra for these 18 people I have been chatting with John Stone from Bentley Hampshire part of the Harwoods Group who has agreed to do a passenger ride to one of these people in either the ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH or the GT CONTINENTAL that he will be bringing to the show. These marques of cars have both been used in Bond films so we hope this will be a little thank you to you all. On the day all of your names will go into a hat and one of you will win the ride. This ride is to be taken on the day. Timings to be confirmed.

Thank you to you all and for your support.

Shelly

Quick question - can't be bothered to read the whole thread. What is the suggested arrival time (if there is one)?

Hi the convoys from Lyndhurst and Rownhams services are both meeting from 8 am and will be leaving at aprox 9am to arrive at Beaulieu for half past nine but if you are coming to Beaulieu direct you need to be there for half past nine to allow time to get everyone parked.

Not sure how big Lyndhurst is, and we are staying in the White Rabbit there on the Sunday - but is there a postcode for the car park, so I can easily find it, as I loved Leeds Castle last year - and I would love my '94 mustang to ride with you boys in to the show on the day, if you will have me - I would be the 'cheapest' car in the group !!!!!

Hi the post code for the car park is SO43 7NY, it is the main car park in the town where the tourist information centre is. Just follow the noise lol and you are most welcome x

[jamienshelly]

We would like to thank Snows Lotus, as they are bringing this to the show on Monday.
I think it will receive some "wows" and "cools". What do you think?

[jamienshelly]

Unfortunately not, but you may get a ride out in a brand new Vanquish....
Hope you are not too upset about the change of car Daz, it wasn't any ones fault, but we all feel bad about it.
Have a good run down and come and see us. ;-)

Hi guys, apologies if this has already been covered. I've paid for 2X Adults on the Beaulieu site for me and my friend to both bring our Nissan GTR's down to show on Monday, what about any passengers with us in those cars? Do they need to pay the £10 as well or is it normal Beaulieu admission price for them?

Hi passengers travelling you in the cars can come into the show for the reduced price of £10 per adult or £5 per child too. The code covers anyone who is either displaying or passengers in the display cars.

You only have to pay the full price if you are coming through the main entrance but obviously they will not be.

Hope this helps

I can't seem to amend my entry on the calendar, but my sister-in-law and her other half will be joining in her VW Polo.

Hi that is fine, really glad you saw this and you will be joining us again. Loved your cars last year and it was nice to chat with you all too

What time is it all kicking off on Monday?

I'm thinking of getting a hotel down there on the Sunday, as it's quite a drive. Otherwise i'll see who else is going from my parts to convoy down with.

Ta

Lots of us are staying down and the Crown Stirup Lyndhurst is doing a pre pride and joy BBQ for us if you wanted to come along. Should be good.

Really need the cars to be there for 9.30am at Beaulieu to allow time to park but also if you do stay in Lyndhurst there is a convoy organised that will also be fun
