It’s July…and we’re in the New Forest…. so that can only mean one thing…..The New Forest and Hampshire County Show is now only a couple of weeks away!!

The theme for this year’s show is ‘hands on’, and allows you to get really stuck in with opportunities to milk a cow, make a scarecrow and hold tiny baby chicks!
