Ringwood’s 2022 Winter ‘Wanderland’ kicks off with the annual community event on Sunday 27th November. This free event takes place in the town centre and will be even bigger this year with activities in the Gateway, High Street, Market Place and Southampton Road. The build-up is even more exciting with the announcement that the roadworks to widen the A31 have ended early meaning the town is fully accessible once again.
