A spacious outdoor venue
Available to hire for outdoor events of all sizes, our flat, well-drained 17-acre Events Field is hedged on all sides and has private gated entrances. Located by the A35 and accessible from across southwest England, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, and Southampton are within easy reach, and we are served with good rail connections to London and beyond.
We host various outdoor events, from festivals to sports events, campouts and weddings. Think of the venue as a blank canvas - you have complete freedom to shape it to your taste and create your unique event. With running water and good road access, the site’s infrastructure is scalable and can easily host large events. And we have a capable team ready to advise you as you plan.
