Several motorhomes sold as Dolphin's three-day summer event at Beaulieu is declared a big success

Record numbers visited this year’s Dolphin Motorhomes Summer Event at Beaulieu with the three-day show hailed as a “huge success”.

Now in its tenth year, the event gave visitors the chance to view more than 70 motorhomes as well as enjoy complimentary food and drink.

Hundreds of pounds was raised for the local charity Abby’s Heroes from donations taken from the BBQ, refreshments and the hamper competition.

More than 800 burgers and hotdogs were cooked and served with 500 slices of cheese and 24 bags of onions while over 1,000 cups of tea and coffee were drunk and 21 pints of milk used.

Customers had the opportunity to view all of Dolphin’s stock as the company’s branches in Southampton and Christchurch were closed and the full range of motorhomes, campervans and van conversions were on display.

Several customers purchased new motorhomes.

Josh Willis, Managing Director of Dolphin, said: “The Dolphin Summer Event is an opportunity for us put all our vehicles from both our branches in one place and for us to invite customers old and new to come and enjoy a day with us.

“The weekend was a huge success and we would like to say a big thank you to all our fabulous customers who joined us this year.

“We’ve had some great feedback so we are really pleased.

“I would also like to thank our fantastic team of staff, without whom, this event wouldn’t be possible.”
