I'm surprised no one asked about this years event
  but it is on, and it is in less than 2 weeks time !

                Beaulieu National Motor Museum,
                    Brockenhurst, Hampshire,
                               SO42 7ZN
                          Tel: 01590 612345

Entry from 9.30am, the Meet 'officially' starts at 10:00am. (Ends 2.00pm)
so let's see how many ForFour's we can manage to muster for this event
as we've not had too good a showing for the last couple...even allowing
for the Covid issue.
It would be possible for ForFour owners to meet up at just inside the
main entrance as that area IS more than large enough), and then 'roll in'
' en masse ?

If the weather hold's out then it's not a bad venue, with tickets allowing
access to all the Museum exhibits and attractions. It's a great museum to
have a look around, and the home cooked food that's available in the
restaurant next to the car park isn't badly priced, considering.

The Simply Smart tickets are available in advance via this link:-
     https://www.beaulieu.co.uk/events/simply-smart/
If you are arriving in a Smart car and displaying it, then advance tickets
are £15 per adult and £7.50 per child (5-17yrs old), under 5's free.

If you arrive in any other vehilce then the standard advance entrance fees apply..
Adult £23, Senior citizens £22, child (5-16years) £12, child (0-4years) Free.

Please make sure you have your ticket printed, ready to be scanned on arrival.
      Cars cannot leave and re-enter the grounds for the Simply rallies.

Anyway, weather permitting, who will be up for this meet....?

More likely Ace cafe for me on sat 12. Thanks for reminding us all.

too far for me to go, although one day. Ace is also a pass as my sister and her family are landing in the UK on the day of beaulieu and we need to get things ready for there arrival

More likely Ace cafe for me on sat 12.......

I'd like to do both The Ace meet and the Beaulieu meet.....
Many will think that it's not particularly good planning having the 2 meetings
back-to-back, but each has it's merits.
Beaulieu is ideal for those in the West Country who can't or don't fancy the long
trek all the way up to the urban sprawling chaos that is London..let alone the M25/A40....
Whereas 'The Ace' is ideal for the very large contingent of Smart owners that live in
and around the Greater London area.
So....realistically,it is quite good planning in a way to have 2 Smart meets close to each other.

I'll wait and see what the weather looks like closer to the time, but I think
it is more than likely that I'll be at The Ace....it's closer, takes less fuel, + free entry..
plus the food is good too.

Are we to assume that as no one has posted any comment or pictures that
no ForFour owner/s (454 or W453) actually attended Beaulieu Simply Smart
on this occasion ?

If that is/was the case then what a shame, and I'd be lying if I said that it
didn't bother me, or make we wonder why that is/was the case.
I'm guessing then that it was 'awash' with 450/451/453 ForTwo's, and Roadsters.
So sad......
