The New Forest VW Santa Run is back in Beaulieu for its 12th year on Sunday, November 30th, 2025! This fun event will help raise funds for the Piam Brown unit at Southampton General Hospital.

Everyone is welcome to join the fun with their classic and custom VWs at the Santa Run! Whether you have a split-screen, Beetle, buggy, Golf, Caddy, T4, or T5, we’d love to see you there!

This cheerful collection of vehicles, decorated with festive flair, will leave Beaulieu at 11am, before delivering their gifts at Southampton General Hospital.

Lots of vehicles and participants get into the Christmas spirit with fun costumes for themselves, their VWs, and sometimes even their dogs, making this a wonderful chance to kick off the festive season.
