The countdown is on for Hampshire’s biggest day out at The New Forest Show 2025.
From 29–31 July, New Park in Brockenhurst transforms into a bustling, colourful celebration of family fun, countryside traditions, great food, rural life, agriculture and equine action! Over three days, you can experience the very best of what makes the New Forest so special.
Heritage and tradition are at the heart of the New Forest Show – but we’re always on the lookout for fresh and exciting updates we can bring to the show, whilst honouring our history. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Chat Stage, a brand-new addition for 2025! We’ll be joined by two green-fingered experts, Charlie Dimmock and David Domoney, who’ll be taking part in live chats and Q&A sessions across all three days.
We are also excited to welcome Atkinson Action Horses back to dazzle once again with their incredible stunt show. You’ll be able to catch them twice a day throughout the event. There’s also the one-of-a-kind 16-pair Heavy Horse Musical Drive, in which pairs of heavy horses parade to music. Alongside it, enjoy the high-energy Pony Club Games, Show Jumping, and impressive grand parade of champion livestock.
If you’re coming with children, there’ll be non-stop entertainment in the family fun area too, with Crazy M, pantomime magic, choir performances, Bonkers Bingo, and even a silent disco – and the best part? This is included in the price of your ticket!
For the foodies, there are plenty of options to indulge and delight! The local produce section is home to members of the New Forest Marque, Hampshire Fare and Hampshire Farmers Markets, showcasing their fantastic local goods. You can also watch top local chefs in action as they give demonstrations of their culinary skills in the demo kitchen. This includes Andrew Du Bourg from The Elderflower, Lyndhurst, as well as cocktail-making classes from 820 Spirits!
Once you’re fed and watered, head to the countryside area where you can watch falconry, ferret racing, see gun dogs, and even try your hand at fly fishing. It’s a brilliant chance to get up close with some of the New Forest’s heritage in action. From dazzling floral displays and vintage tractors to live rural crafts, axe competitions, and of course, the ever-popular sheep show – there’s something for everyone to enjoy, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.
Planning your visit? Take advantage of our early bird offer, running until 14 July 2025. A family ticket is just £49 when booked in advance – that’s £11 off the gate price.
Join us for an action-packed, memorable, delicious day out in the heart of the New Forest. We can’t wait to welcome you to The New Forest Show!
