crowd at Verderers Court

An exclusive evening at the Verderers’ Court with the New Forest Marque and the New Forest Trust.

Earlier this week New Forest Marque members had the unique opportunity to spend the evening at the historic Verderer’s Court in Lyndhurst – a setting rarely open to events. Hosted in partnership with the New Forest Trust, the evening brought together our community to celebrate the Forest’s rich heritage. Guests enjoyed captivating talks from Andrew Parry-Norton, Brice Stratford, Jim Greenwood and Judith Long, who shared fascinating stories of Commoning, folklore and New Forest life.

The venue provided a truly atmospheric backdrop for an inspiring evening filled with local history, conversation and delicious refreshments including cakes from New Forest Cake House and shortbread from New Forest Shortbread.

This exclusive event is just one example of many regular social gatherings arranged by us especially for our members. It is one of the many benefits of being part of our New Forest Marque community, and part of our commitment to supporting local producers, makers and businesses through networking and shared experiences.

A big thank you to the Verderers’ Court for allowing us to use the venue, the New Forest Trust, and all the wonderful speakers for making the evening such a success.
