The Centre will be welcoming all the local honey-producing members of New Forest Marque to sell their produce and promote the long history and importance of beekeeping in the New Forest. Visitors can also participate in craft and coloring activities to learn more about the importance of bees.

The upcoming summer exhibition will tell the fascinating story of the two Indian Army hospitals located in the New Forest during the First World War. Co-curated with a local historian and researcher, the exhibition will explore the spirit of friendship that developed between the soldiers and the local community.

Visitors to the Centre can enjoy a relaxing cafe with background music, a reference library, and a gallery. The cafe offers plenty of cakes for gluten-free diets and options for vegans. There are also various food and drink choices available at average prices for the area.

Visitors have described the Centre as a lovely and informative place to visit, with good displays on the history of the New Forest and interactive activities for children. The museum is free to enter, with a recommended donation of £4. Visitors have also praised the extensive gift shop and the fantastic embroidery celebrating 900 years of the New Forest.
