Beaulieu Village Fete

Saturday 19th July 2025 in the grounds of Palace House, Beaulieu

Beaulieu Village Fete will be held on Saturday 19th July, opening at 12.30 pm. We are delighted that the fete will be opened this year by BBC South Presenter Ed Sault.

This traditional annual village fete takes place within the stunning grounds of Palace House, Beaulieu, at the kind invitation of Lord and Lady Montagu. Tickets are £2 for adults (Under 16s are free). There is ample parking nearby. 

Beaulieu Village Fete is a fun afternoon out, whether you live locally or are on holiday in the New Forest. This year's theme is "Pirates", so please enter into the spirit of things and come dressed as your favourite sea-faring character - there will be prizes for the best outfits!

This traditional fete offers something for all ages... Our Carousel, Bowling for a Pig, and other classic games will entertain younger visitors. There will be live music and dancing entertainment throughout the day and plenty of refreshments, including our popular barbecue, tea tent, strawberries and cream and of course you can also enjoy a PIMM'S or PROSECCO! This year, we have a new Vegetarian Pizza oven! Discover fantastic bargains at our Vintage, Retro, and Jewellery stalls, and take part in the tombolas and other enjoyable events. The first prize in the raffle is a stunning 55" Smart LED TV.  

Due to popular demand, the dog show is with us again - all dogs are welcome to enter; just bring them along, and you could be the proud owner of a prizewinner!

Community involvement and raising funds for local causes

We are planning over 30 stalls or events across a wide range of activities, principally managed by volunteers from the community. Unlike many village fetes, we do not sell “pitches” to independent traders to sell their wares for profit. 

The event is organised by the Beaulieu Common Good Foundation, registered charity no.1206001, and all net funds raised go to local good causes. Since 1999, we have raised nearly £300,000.
