Feast of Flavours
Let’s talk about the food! The New Forest Festival is home to an incredible variety of locally sourced culinary delights.
From freshly baked bread to organic cheese to local chocolates and even to the world-famous Pannage Pork! There are also some really good botanical gins to pair it all with!
But it’s not just about eating—it’s about the experience. Many food vendors offer live cooking demos where you can watch talented chefs whip up magic on their stoves.
So if you’re curious about specific recipes or techniques—here’s your chance!
Live Music and Entertainment
The New Forest Festival isn’t just a treat for your taste buds—it’s a treat for your ears and eyes too. Live music fills the air, with performances ranging from local bands to well-known acts.
Music and great food are one combination that just hits right! So picture this, swaying to a soulful acoustic set while enjoying a plate of sizzling street food—sounds dreamy, right?
This is a family-friendly event, so there’s a lineup of exciting activities, including storytelling for kids, craft workshops, open-air cinemas, yoga, and even dancing sessions.
It’s the kind of place where you’d experience loads of fun!
