Living History at Beaulieu this Summer

Join the Victorian house party in Palace House and meet the house guests and ‘below stairs’ staff.  There is music in the Lower Drawing Room, family games outside on the lawns and twice daily playlets to enjoy. See Veteran and Vintage cars as they motor around the grounds, stop the driver and learn about motoring in days gone by. Take care you don’t get run over by the Victorian cyclist on his Penny Farthing.

Watch the Victorian gardener as he tends the Kitchen Garden and join him for a tour of the gardens. Meet Brother William, the Cistercian monk who strolls the pathways of Beaulieu’s Abbey Cloisters, listen to his talks on the folk law of herbs and the monks who lived in the Abbey.  From Monday to Friday in the Cloister, hear about the history of falconry and see some of these amazing birds in special flying demonstrations.
