About New Forest Activities

What makes this a great fit for your hen weekend

At Hazel Copse Farm in Beaulieu, New Forest Activities puts your hen party on the river: kayaking and outdoor adventures from two to four hours in the green heart of the Forest, open all year round and rated 4.9 from over 800 reviews. Booking in advance is recommended.

The Beaulieu River is the gentlest of classrooms. flat, beautiful and forgiving. so absolute beginners paddle happily while the ponies watch from the banks. The Forest wraps the rest of the day around you: Beaulieu's village, Brockenhurst's pubs and the coast beyond.

For hen parties, this is the fresh-air chapter with real tranquillity attached. the calm before the celebration, or the recovery after it. For hens who want the activity outdoors and on the water, New Forest Activities is the Beaulieu answer.

The bride paddles first. The river holds its applause politely.

Frequently asked questions

What is New Forest Activities?

Outdoor adventure in the heart of the New Forest, based at Hazel Copse Farm near Beaulieu since 2003: guided canoe and kayak tours on the privately owned Beaulieu River, archery, bushcraft, high ropes, cycling and BattleZone laser tag in the woods, all led by expert, qualified instructors. Think fresh air, big skies and wildlife, not a late-night party venue.

Can we book New Forest Activities for a hen party?

Hen parties are one of our specialities, built relaxed and outdoorsy for groups of 8 to 24: Paddle & Prosecco (a laid-back paddle to the pub at Buckler's Hard, from £48 per person), Boats & Battles (canoeing plus BattleZone, full day from £76 per person) and Woodland Escape (archery and bushcraft, from £85 per person). Any activity can also be booked as a private session tailored to your group's pace.

How much does it cost?

Private group sessions: BattleZone laser tag from £28 per person (2 hours), canoe and kayak tours from £48 per person (2 hours), archery and bushcraft from £50 per person (half day). Fully private half days are £300 and full days £580 for the group. Individual experiences like archery are £29 per adult for 90 minutes. Groups of 8 or more book via our enquiry form and we will send tailored options and prices.

What should we expect on the day?

A friendly, laid-back day in a New Forest nature reserve: expert instructors, all equipment provided, and activities pitched so mixed ages and abilities can join in (no experience needed for archery or paddling; our canoes are stable and forgiving). We do not organise food directly, but we can time activities around a local cafe or pub, or introduce a local caterer who delivers to site.

Where do we stay and eat?

There is no accommodation on site, but campsites, self-catering houses and hotels are spread across the New Forest, and we happily point groups to options that work alongside their activities. We are about 15 minutes from Southampton and around 90 minutes from London; some activities use different sites a short drive apart, confirmed in your booking details.

Where are you, and how do we book?

You will find us at Hazel Copse Farm, Beaulieu, Hampshire (SO42 7WA). Call 01590 612377 or email [email protected]. Book live dates online for smaller groups; for groups of 8 or more, send an enquiry with your dates and rough numbers. Weekends fill fast, and every booking is covered by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Booking our experience was so straightforward. The operator I spoke to on the phone was so helpful and sorted everything out so smoothly. All the information sent on email, directions, wavers and information was clear and easy to access and manage. We were met by our guide, Darren, who was incredibly friendly and put us all at ease. His information and support was thorough and clear and instruction was very easy to understand and follow. We took our twin grandsons for an early present for their 12th birthday. It was the first time canoeing for all of us. Once on the water Darren’s continued encouragement and tips meant that we were able to make the absolute most of our fantastic experience. We would definitely do this again if we were visiting again. Tim, Maggie, Monty and Barnaby.

A wonderful canoe trip on Beaulieu river . My first go in a canoe so well instructed and safe. Chris was so knowledgeable and gave an interesting history at each stop along the way. Was a lovely experience will sign up for another trip soon.

Me and my 9-year-old visited yesterday for an archery session during half term, just to fill a gap in the day — and we’re really glad we did. We were both complete beginners, but we had a brilliant time in the sunshine learning how to shoot at the targets. Our instructor was friendly, patient, and really good at putting us both at ease. He was also excellent with my son, which made the experience even better. It was a fun, relaxed session and something a bit different to do together. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable activity, whether you’re a complete beginner or just fancy trying something new.
