A Delicious Month At Hanger Farm

This month we present a whole year in the New Forest as created by artists Pete and Zak Gilbert and Hugh Lohan.  This sensational exhibition of paintings and photography features a different New Forest location for every month of the last year from August 2007.   

Exhibition runs from Tuesday 7 October – Saturday 1 November, with a chance to meet the artists on Tuesday 7 October, from 6.30 – 8pm.  Artist receptions are free to the public and a great way to look at our new exhibitions with the artists present. There’s no pressure to buy, but you can if you want, plus there’s free refreshments available.  You know when people say, DO NOT MISS – this is one of those occasions. So don’t miss it!

The Comedy Barn returns on Friday 17 October, 8pm , with headline act, Jo Caulfield, a regular on TV and radio shows and shock horror, and a female comic to boot! Please note there likely to be some strong language during this event.

On Saturday 18 October, 8pm we have beautiful live music performed by Keith James and Rick Foot, with The Songs of Nick Drake. This concert is a tribute to Nick Drake who died earlier this year. “An absolute must” Mark Radcliffe  – BBC RADIO 2
