Given the popularity of our Needs Ore visit last year we are grateful to the Beaulieu estate for giving us permission to visit Needs Ore again. Needs Ore is a nature reserve at the mouth of the Beaulieu River which, given its sensitive location, is not open to the public. We are thus fortunate to be allowed to visit again on 20th August 2026 and to be guided by those who know this special place. Bookings are now open for this visit so please do take advantage of this opportunity.

Please note: Our 2026/27 Autumn and Winter Talk Programme is being prepared and will be published as soon as possible.
