Located at the heart of the beautiful, historic coastal market town of Lymington, St Barbe is both a dynamic museum and highly regarded art gallery that appeals to both locals and New Forest visitors. The museum explores the history of Lymington and the New Forest Coast, inspired by local pride, and supported by the local community, its collections and colourful, hands-on displays offer a fascinating insight into the area for all ages. Our vision is to become the most respected small Museum and Art Gallery in the UK – using art, heritage and culture to inspire the whole community.

Breamore House, a Grade II* Elizabethan manor near Fordingbridge, Hampshire, offers a rich heritage experience through its architecture, collections, and rural museum.

The estate includes a Countryside Museum and a nearby Saxon church, enhancing its cultural value. Open seasonally for guided tours, Breamore supports heritage tourism and welcomes collaboration.

Winchester Poetry Festival – a registered charity – is a local and national poetry community that inspires and excites everyone to read, write, perform, and enjoy poetry in all its forms. Our work ranges from our acclaimed biennial festival and our popular competitions, to our wider year-round engagement work with community organisations and schools. We share, showcase, celebrate, and champion great poetry because we believe in its power to bring us all together and make a positive, enriching difference to our lives and to our society. We collaborate with a wide range of partners and businesses – including with Hampshire Cultural Trust and the work of the Hampshire Poet – and and we act as a local. national & international hub for poetry.
