Moggyfest 2026 Beaulieu
Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th May 2026
For anyone who’s thinking of attending Moggyfest at Beaulieu in May, please be aware you need to be on site no later than 08.30am. This does mean either getting an early ferry, or staying overnight on the Friday. If you are planning on getting the ferry from Yarmouth to Lymington, the crossing will be at 06.55am, this gets you onto the
mainland for 07.35am and then it’s a 15 minute drive to Beaulieu.
If you haven’t been to this event before, do try and go as it’s a great day (or weekend if you’re planning on doing both days). There is a £25 registration fee but this gets your free entry to the Motor Museum (usually £27 per person), and there’s also the Spring Autojumble to look round for goodies. It’s a dog friendly event so you can bring your woofer too (although they’re not allowed in the museum).
Don’t fancy the early ferry? There’s a Travelodge in Lyndhurst with basic facilities if you just need somewhere to lay your head for the night. Or have a look at one of the pubs offering bed and breakfast, or try Airbnb for something a little quirky.
