THERE’S nothing like Beaulieu for a fun-packed summer.

With incredible creations in a brand new customised car art exhibition in the National Motor Museum, magnificent birds of prey with Lord Montagu’s first falconer in 300 years at Beaulieu Abbey Cloister and a two-day celebration of powerful dream machines at Beaulieu Supercar Weekend – there really is something for everyone.

A Citroen that looks like a spaceship, road-going speedboat, shortened Mini Ha Ha and speed-breaking Reliant Rialto raced on the Bonneville Salt Flats will be stars of the show in The Art of Kustom summer exhibition, which runs until September.

Featuring cars from the imagination of customiser Andy Saunders, the National Motor Museum will display his most famous creations gathered from private collections across Europe.

Andy is described as an artist who uses cars as his canvas – and Beaulieu is asking visitors to get creative by colouring a real-life Ford Mustang ‘Art car’.

Use their felt-tip pens to customise the muscle car, creating your eye-catching masterpiece with designs of your choice.

Can you come up with a colour scheme fit for this legendary American car parked up on the Events Arena?

See magnificent birds of prey in flight and visit Abbot’s Mews, a new exhibition marking Beaulieu’s rich falconry history.

The story of falconry at Beaulieu can be traced as far back as the 11th century and Paul Manning is believed to be the first falconer endorsed by the Montagu family for over 300 years.

Learn more about the kings, queens and nobleman who practised falconry and the falconer’s skills – which haven’t changed for 700 years!
