This weekend saw the second annual NMSBFest, and what a weekend it was! The sun was shining, the food was amazing, and the turnout was great.

With nearly 300 guests including staff and their family and friends in attendance, we had an array of funfair stalls, a helter skelter and giant football darts for the kids (and big kids!), as well as a sandpit and outdoor games to keep us entertained.

Local suppliers provided delicious food, including New Forest Pizza Co, Meadowbrook Produce with a BBQ and Hog Roast, and Brock Ice with some much needed and very tasty ice cream.

As the sun set on an incredible day, we were treated to live music from ‘The Wonky Donkeys’, followed by ‘Skint’, both are incredible local bands and contain some very talented members from our NMSB family!

As the evening ended, those who wanted to camp made their way back to their tents, whilst others stayed up to sit around the campfire, reflecting on a wonderful day and to sing some tuneful… songs.

It was great to see so many of our staff together, enjoying a well-deserved thank you for all their hard work over the past year. Now on to planning next years!
