National Mini Day 2026 (MCR)

Every year in June, the New Forest provides a wonderful backdrop for our annual meeting, bringing together Minis of all shapes and ages.  The club’s National Mini Day always attracts a large crowd of Mini lovers who come to enjoy the summer sunshine while viewing the quintessential English car in a quintessentially English environment. In 2026 we are celebrating the Mini Cooper Registers 40th Birthday, so we will be in party mood. We will be bing joined by The Cooper Car company who will be also celebrating a milestone birthday, in their case their 80th, and without whom, our club would not have been born. We aim to fill the central display with as many displays as we can but with the emphasis on the Cooper.

There will of course be all your favourite attractions: trade stands where you might take advantage of any show offers that are available and of course we also welcome Trunk Traders, so if you have a garage full of Mini parts that you want to slim down, this is an ideal opportunity to find a new home for them. The trade pitches are in the central area and are 5m x 5m. and can be reserved now. Please email "trade@minicooper.org" for current availability and a booking form.

The trunk traders are in their usual position to the side of the main event area. We do restrict the size of the trunk trade area to 3m x 3m and we do not allow tables so decide on what suits you best and contact us at "trunk@minicooper.org".

The Mini clubs that come to Beaulieu each year are always welcome and, following a suggestion from one such club last year, we will be awarding a prize for the best club display. More details to follow soon. To reserve your club space contact the 'events' email above .

The ever expanding concourse d’Elegance will be judged throughout the day before the prizes are awarded at the end.  We will be interviewing as many celebrities as possible and you can listen them over the Tannoy  or come and say hello if you wish. For more details and an entry form, email "concours@minicooper.org".
