Dress for the weather

The Spring Fair will take place outside at Beaulieu. Please check the weather before you travel.

Check the time on your ticket before travelling

Please arrive no earlier than your entry time slot: 9.30am, 11.30am or 1.30pm. You can arrive at any time from the time stated on your ticket.

Remember, your ticket includes access to the Beaulieu attractions – the entry time on your ticket is your entry time to both Beaulieu AND the Fair. 

At the Fair

Help with your shopping

Take advantage of the Plant Crèche and Shop & Drop, run by Perennial to look after your shopping during your visit. There will be a cash point at the fair (please note this incurs a small charge), and please do bring a bag (or two) to minimise the need for new ones. A shuttle bus will be ready to help you back to your car. 

Plus, start your window shopping early by browsing the exhibitor list, here

Food and drink

Build a picnic from the independent Street Food vendors and delicious artisan food and drink from the BBC Good Food Market, then wash it down with a tipple from the alfresco bar. Or, you can head into Beaulieu for a sit-down meal at the Brabazon restaurant.

Club Lounge access

For those wanting access to the Club Lounge, please remember to bring your voucher.

Free seeds

Regent Seven Seas Cruises® return as sponsor of the BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Stage in 2023, and you’ll be able to claim a FREE pack of seeds to bring a bit of the Fair back home with you! Only available at their stand, these seeds are subject to availability and max one packet per visitor.
