I am planning a trip to a Mini meeting this year.
First I wanted to visit the National Mini cooper day in Beaulieu.
But now I am not sure, if Brands Hatch a week later would be alternative...
What do You think ?

Definitely try to do both Beaulieu is a great 1 day static show and Brands is an excellent spectator circuit with a rare opportunity to see Mini's only (of all types) in some exciting on-track action over 2 days of a weekend.
Your wife and children will love the New Forest area of Beaulieu, South Coast and the Kent countryside/tourist attractions around the Brands Hatch area. Plenty of non-Mini entertainment ideas for a weeks holiday!

You need a cheap flight into Southampton for Beaulieu & get a lift off someone going to the event along the M27, then go home & come back the following weekend for Brands. Minimum time away from home that way

This is v. simple
;
Like to see Mini's on display, action and lots of Mini racing? Go to Brands
Like to see Mini's on display, the National transp.museum (V.good by the way - and don't miss the SOE museum either) and autojumbles? - Go to Bealieu
Can't decide? Do both
