Events and things to do at The Montagu Arms, Hampshire

Join us on Thursday, 29th January 2026, at the Montagu Arms for the Beaulieu River at War Talk with Traditional Afternoon Tea.

Enjoy tea and coffee on arrival, then settle in for a captivating one-hour talk with Marc Heighway about the history of the Beaulieu River during wartime, followed by a traditional afternoon tea to conclude the event.

Prior to war the Beaulieu River was a sleepy waterway, but once requisitioned by the navy, witnessed an incredible amount of activity. The fear of invasion also led to the village being set as a trap for invading forces. As war progressed, the estate was used to prepare for D-Day, including secret tests being conducted on the water. Aspects of the Mulberry Harbour were also constructed locally, and the historical Buckler’s Hard shipyard pivoted to the production of naval vessels.

£45.00 per adult
