For 2023 we are returning to Breamore House Nr. Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6 2DF
Tel: 01725 512858

Sunday 4th June 2023
Set in its own beautiful parkland amid surrounding farms and fields, the grandeur and magnificence of the house has changed little over the past 400 years.*

The Elizabethan Manor House and Countryside Museum are open for visitors from April until the end of October.*


Entry to site from 1000 hours.
Please note.
caravan or camping facilities may be available if there is sufficient demand.
Cost £10 pn you must book vial Nigel Ayling if you wish to stay on site

Toilets together with a Tea room which will open at 1030 hours are situated near the museum.


The Line-up of cars will be informal, as has been the case over the last few years.

Entry to the event is free,
but there is an*entry fee to the museum and house which is still to be confirmed.

The house tours are 2pm, 3pm and 4pm. You will either need to book on-line in advance, or go into the farm/gift shop and pay there. The shop is card payment only.
Alternatively you can pay in cash payments at the house for tours. We try to limit the number of visitors on each tour so booking online via the Breamore House website is best but I am sure we can fit in a few others on the day. The cost for a house tour is £14 for an adult or £10 for those over 56 years. This covers an hour tour of the house plus entry into the countryside museum.
The Pantry Barn on site is quite small so if large numbers wanted food it may be better to book directly with the Pantry Barn. Their details are on the booking form I sent you.
It would be lovely to advertise your visit - visitors may like to see all the cars. Do you have any photos we could use?
Please email me if you have any further questions.
