The New Forest Outdoor Centre is tucked away in a private estate of over a thousand acres of private wood and parkland in the heart of the New Forest National Park . It is an idyllic setting for an outdoor centre and it is so peaceful on site that guests find it hard to believe that they are just 10 minutes drive from junction 3 of the M27. We guarantee that our visitors will feel that they have left the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and have truely got "away from it all".

On site we have a large wood-clad barn that provides a very flexible space. It is the ideal base from which to run our bespoke programmes but is also perfect for hiring for day delegates, meeting, private functions, special parties and our speciality - wedding receptions.

If you are dreaming of a woodland wedding or of hosting a special celebration party in the wood we have the solution! We provide the barn in its most beautiful private setting and then we work together to organise the rest. We have the experience of almost everything, from erecting marquees on the rear deck or adjacent lawns, to stocking the bar, organising caterers or hiring additional tables and chairs. We want to ensure that your special day is perfect in every way! On the day we will provide a site manager and staff  to run the Woodland Bar and when the night is all done, we can even offer overnight accommodation on site in our rustic Shepherd's Huts for upto 40 guests; subject to prior arrangement.

Our little haven makes guests feel they are in the middle of nowhere but in fact we are easy to reach and not miles off the beaten track. The M27 is less than ten miles away, which gives easy access to the M3 motorway. The centre is also well-served by rail. Brockenhurst Station , with its regular fast train service to London, is just a fifteen minute taxi ride away. For those travelling from further afield, there are regional airports in Bournemouth and Southampton.

From our centre we have direct acces to lawns, woods and parkland, which our visitors can enjoy. Outside the estate, there are all the delights of the New Forest National Park and we also have the Beaulieu River and Lymington Marina on our doorstep.
