We programme a variety of multi genre music, theatre, comedy, dance, literature, talks and children's shows. We also offer a huge array of activities and workshops for all ages in our professional dance studio, workshop space, and theatre. Our rooms are also available for hiring at certain times and current users include Spanish language teaching, the Hard of Hearing Club, the WEA and Brockenhurst College Special Needs group.

We have a licensed café bar serving bottled beers, wine, spirits, soft drinks, tea, coffee and confectionery. We are ideally positioned as a place to pop in and meet up with friends. There is also a gallery area within the centre with an exciting programme of visual arts exhibitions throughout the year. The contemporary work includes paintings, prints, ceramics, textiles and mixed media work, with pieces for sale. The work encompasses local, national and internationally renowned artists, as well as providing an excellent showcase for recent graduates and students. Education, community projects and outreach also play a large part in the work of Forest Arts with extensive partnership working throughout the New Forest district and beyond. There is a free customers car park on the premises. Forest Arts operates a no-smoking policy throughout the building.
