Legend has it that the New Forest is home to a mystical creature called the “Dragon of Hurst.” Apparently, this Dragon dwells deep within the forest, guarding hidden treasure.
Fortunately, the dragon doesn’t hoard the treasure you’re looking for for your hen do. The treasure of wine. The jewels of cocktails. The riches of afternoon tea.
So let’s sidestep the dragon, and open up the hen do treasure of the New Forest! 😁
