Discover the world of New Forest commoning with Young Commoners at Beaulieu Road sale yard

Discover the world of New Forest commoning during a special walk and talk led by two Young Commoners later this month.

The event, which takes place on Friday, March 27 between 10am and 12pm at Beaulieu Road sale yard, will offer a rare insight into one of the practices that helps shape the landscape of the New Forest.

Young Commoners Jake Moore and Tom Hordle will share their first-hand experiences of commoning, explaining how Commoners and their livestock play a vital role in maintaining the unique habitats and open landscapes that make the Forest so special.

The walk and talk will take place within the grounds of the sale yard, located opposite Beaulieu Road railway station. Tickets cost £5, with under-16s able to attend for free. Free parking will be available on site and toilet facilities are provided.

All proceeds will go towards supporting the New Forest Young Commoners

Tickets can be booked through the Eventbrite page

The walk and talk is part of the New Forest National Park Authority’s 2026 Awakening Festival, celebrating climate and nature throughout the month of March. Find out more about the festival on the NPA website
