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.

Mobile networks are being improved in the area and there is a small chance that these upgrades may cause interference to TV services received through an aerial such as Freeview, BT, Talk Talk and YouView.  If you are experiencing interference such as intermittent sound, blocky images or loss of TV signal, free support is available from Restore TV.

At a recent Town Council meeting, the Town Mayor presented certificates to recipients of grant aid;  £1,000 was awarded to Citizens Advice New Forest towards the running costs of this vital service and £600 to Crowe Women’s Institute towards the cost of insulating their hall.

Commemorative events will be taking place in November starting on Saturday 5th November with a service at the War Graves in Ringwood Cemetery. Poppy crosses will be laid on the graves of service personnel whose last resting place is Ringwood. This service is open to all; meet in the Cemetery Car Park at 10.45am and then walk to the Graves.

Advanced tickets for Ringwood Grand Fireworks 2022 are now on sale!
