British Flair Basthorst

The British Flair" at Gut Basthorst is far more than a trade fair – it is a vibrant celebration of British lifestyle that draws visitors from near and far each late summer. The name stands for an authentic, detail-rich immersion into the culture, style and spirit of the United Kingdom – right in the heart of northern Germany. The venue, the idyllic Gut Basthorst near Hamburg, with its historic buildings, expansive green spaces and picturesque pond, offers a setting that perfectly blends tradition and modernity. The event is organised by AgenturHaus GmbH, which designs a programme that both entertains and inspires.

At its core, British Flair combines a high-quality lifestyle exhibition with British cultural and sporting activities as well as culinary delights. Exhibitors from the worlds of fashion, jewellery, antiques, classic cars, fine foods, garden culture and outdoor equipment present their products in a distinctly British style – from elegant country fashion and handcrafted silver to fine furniture, home accessories, single malt whiskies and original delicacies from the British Isles. Classic favourites such as fish and chips, pies, Highland cattle burgers, scones with clotted cream and genuine English tea invite visitors to relax and indulge.

The supporting programme lends the event its unique charm. Live music, the sound of bagpipes, Scottish Highland Games, equestrian displays, Jack Russell races, classic car parades and humorous walk-acts bring the atmosphere of a traditional British country fair to life. A highlight is the British Flair Open Air Proms Concert on Saturday evening, when the Hamburg Festival Orchestra performs classical works under the open sky – the perfect setting for a picnic beneath the stars. The Equestrian Day adds a sporting touch with presentations of British pony breeds, side-saddle riding and drag hunts.

In addition to fostering cultural exchange between Germany and the United Kingdom, British Flair is committed to charitable causes. Families can enjoy a varied hands-on programme for children, while classic car enthusiasts will find plenty to admire at the British Flair Classic Cars.

With its distinctive blend of shopping, culture, sport, music and gastronomy, British Flair has become a firm fixture in northern Germany’s event calendar. Easily accessible from Hamburg, Gut Basthorst – with its rustic yet elegant atmosphere – provides the perfect backdrop for an event that feels like a journey to the United Kingdom without ever leaving Germany.

Visitors and exhibitors meet for the 34th time on the British Flair on 3 days from Fri., 05.09.2025 to Sun., 07.09.2025 in Basthorst.
