The Custom and American Show roars back into Beaulieu on Sunday 21 June 2026. And it promises a full-throttle celebration of Stateside motoring on Father’s Day. A firm favourite on the calendar, this show continues to deliver an inclusive mix of chrome, creativity and character.
Held in association with the Solent Renegades, the event showcases hundreds of vehicles. Expect everything from first-generation muscle icons like the Chevrolet Camaro to modern examples of the Ford Mustang. Expect everything from meticulously restored classics to wild custom builds, alongside hot rods, bikes and trikes that embody true individuality.
A standout feature of the 2026 show will be its film and TV vehicle display. Confirmed highlights include KITT, a DeLorean DMC-12, Herbie and the unmistakable Dodge Monaco. It’s a nostalgic line-up that broadens the appeal well beyond traditional car enthusiasts.
Custom car builder Andy Saunders returns as show ambassador, bringing along some of his most imaginative creations. Live entertainment will keep the atmosphere buzzing throughout the day, with Route 66 delivering Americana-inspired tunes, plus tribute performances celebrating Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton.
Families are well catered for, with fairground rides, face painting and interactive attractions across the Beaulieu grounds. The day culminates in the always-popular prize-giving ceremony, with awards including People’s Best in Show and the Andy Saunders Award recognising standout builds.
Better still, your ticket grants access to Beaulieu’s wider attractions, including the National Motor Museum, making it a full day out for enthusiasts and families alike.
If you’re into accessible, characterful classics and the vibrant culture that surrounds them, the Custom and American Show remains one of the UK’s must-visit summer events.
Don’t miss out—book your tickets today and make Father’s Day 2026 one to remember at Beaulieu.
