New Forest Heritage Centre, located in Lyndhurst, is a cultural hub offering a museum, gallery, reference library, and café. Operated by the New Forest Heritage Trust (Charity No. 1186656), the Centre shares the stories of the New Forest’s people, landscape, and traditions. It hosts exhibitions, learning programmes, and community events year-round. Free admission and a central location make it a key resource for heritage engagement and visitor orientation in the National Park.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating story of British Army flying by visiting a hidden gem. The Army Flying Museum sits adjacent to the Army Air Corps Airfield at Middle Wallop, just 10 minutes from Andover.  The Museum houses the impressive journey of British soldiers in the air from the pioneering days of balloons and kites to the Glider Pilot Regiment landing at Arnhem, right through to modern helicopter operations. Visitors are frequently surprised at the volume of artefacts, medals, fixed wing and rotary aircraft. Imaginative displays with a clever use of interactives provide for fascinating insight into the history of British Army aviation. The Museum offers a packed event programme and free activities for children at school holidays
