Beaulieu celebrates its 40th Boatjumble on 23 April as the biggest and best one-stop shop for boating enthusiasts.

To mark the landmark event children under 12 will be given free admission to the show for the first time, with a special reduced ticket price for teenagers.

Offering hundreds of stands with countless boating bargains, Beaulieu Boatjumble is the largest outdoor sale of maritime items in Europe. With a new layout for this special year, the event gives the chance to browse yacht and motor boat spares and accessories, ropes, flags, charts, lifejackets, engines, tools, canoes and dinghies.

Back by popular demand again this year is the Ask the Experts feature, where PBO’s marine industry specialists share their knowledge and answer showgoers’ questions.

A highlight for buyers and sellers alike, Trunk Traders will be in its own separate zone. It is the ideal opportunity for amateur jumblers to clear their lockers, sheds and garages and sell unwanted nautical paraphernalia from their car boots.

Showgoers can see up-close a selection of new and used boats for sale in Boatmart, while Boatmall offers a wide selection of maritime products.

For Beaulieu River mooring holders, an event-day shuttle bus will run from 9am to 6pm from the Beaulieu River Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour to the Beaulieu attraction.

Advance event tickets are on sale until 13 April at £8.70 an adult and £5 for 13 to 17-year-olds. Under-12s go free.

Standard event tickets, which are available from 14 April or can be bought on the door, are £9.70 an adult and £6 for 13 to 17-year-olds. Under-12s go free.

Trunk Traders spaces start at £39 for a plot, Boatmart spaces are £33 and stand prices start at £55 for a single exhibitor stand. To book, call our events team on 01590 614614 or email events@beaulieu.co.uk.

Boatjumble starts at the new opening time of 10am and closes at 4pm.
