Cornbury Park
The annual Mini In The Park is possibly the UK’s best and favourite Mini weekend. Thousands of the finest Minis descend on Cornbury Park for driving treasure hunts and the popular Mini-Push – when five people push a Mini up a hill! Are you tough enough? There's also Minis for sale and an autojumble.
Address: Mini In The Park, Cornbury Park, Charlbury
Beaulieu National Motor Museum
Highlights include Britain’s oldest complete racing car (the 1903 Napier) and the popular James Bond Experience, where glamorous and lethal genuine James Bond boats, cars and props are on display.
There’s also a star cars exhibition, showing vehicles that have been owned by the rich and famous – including George Harrison and Marlene Dietrich, and some that are famous in their own right, such as Del Boy’s Robin Reliant and Mr Bean’s yellow Mini.
Address: Beaulieu National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, Brockenhurst
Design Museum
Design is a field in which Britain excels, and many of the world’s most influential designers' work is on show. Featuring Harry Beck's 1931 diagrammatic map of the London Underground, and the first Mini and Morris-Minor to come off the production line, this exhibition explores how design has modernised Britain in the last century and shaped our lives today.
From the modernist pioneers of the 1930s, to the ambitious plans for the London 2012 Olympics, it explores design’s impact on British daily life.
Address: Design Museum, Shad Thames
