Here is a picture from our archive of the Maypole dance in #Brockenhurst from around the 1940s. #MayDay is a spring festival celebrated on May 1st with parades, #maypole dances, and flowers. It's a time to welcome the new season and enjoy the beauty of nature after winter.

This is just a little note to let you know our doors are now open from 10am to 5pm every day of the week, including weekends. We'd love to see you, so drop by and say hello! #SupportLocal #ShopLocal #SmallBusiness #VisitUs #CommunityLove #newforest

Happy Easter weekend! We are open as usual. Stop by the Centre on your way to or from a forest walk. We have some exciting news! Our shop will undergo a little refresh next month, and we can't wait. Stay tuned for more details coming soon.

We are opening the Hargreaves Local Studies Room to the public on Thursday, April 4th, from 10 to 4. Come and see our treasures from the archives, and you can handle them. Volunteers will be on hand during the day to help.

At Easter, traditionally, we celebrate hope and new beginnings. This charming rabbit photo in our archive from the New Forest Show in the 1960s or 1970s reminds us that even the simplest things can be enchanting and delightful. #easter #rabbits #newforestshow

Answers on a postcard please!
We have come across a postcard from 1914 in our collection written in some kind of cipher, and would appreciate help in attempting to decode it. If any budding code breakers out there can help us, please get in touch.🧐
