Community-Led

Unlike many village fetes, the Beaulieu Village Fete is principally organised and run by local volunteers and community groups. We do not operate as a commercial traders’ event, helping preserve the traditional atmosphere and strong local community involvement which make the fete so special.

Supporting Local Good Causes

The fete is organised by the Beaulieu Common Good Foundation (registered charity no. 1206001), and all net proceeds support local good causes across our community. Since 1999, the fete and associated charitable activities have helped raise £300,000 for local organisations and projects.

The Foundation Supports

• Youth and education projects
• Community organisations
• Local heritage and arts
• Amateur sport
• Citizenship and volunteering
• Individuals and families facing hardship

A Traditional Community Event

Set within the stunning grounds of Palace House by kind permission of Lord and Lady Montagu, the fete continues a long-standing Beaulieu tradition bringing together residents, visitors, local organisations and volunteers for a memorable summer afternoon. Whether you are entering the dog show, enjoying a cream tea, dressing up as a favourite character, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, we look forward to welcoming you.

Can’t Attend?

If you are unable to join us but would still like to support local good causes within our community, donations are always very welcome.

Inclusivity and Respect

We are committed to maintaining an environment that is welcoming, inclusive and respectful for all visitors, volunteers and participants.
