These events are a wonderful opportunity to connect with the land, witness the transformations, and join in on the unfolding story of Ewhurst Park with them!
Ewhurst Park is where wildness is celebrated; where flowers blossom; where organic, fresh fruits and vegetables grow in abundance; where deer roam freely; and where cows, pigs and beavers create a mosaic of habitats that benefit nature.
It’s a place that inspires renewed relationships with the land, giving back to its community through education and the expansion of minds; and to the earth through nourishment and nature restoration.
They’re creating a space to connect to the land within a place of natural beauty.
They’re making sure it’s safe to roam, fixing a few of the old bridges and structures and replanting some areas that need some tender loving care.
Join them and reconnect with nature!
The air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the land we stand on – it all relies on biodiversity – but right now it’s in crisis.
Ewhurst Park has been reimagined with a genuine love of the land and simple pleasures.
Whether that’s watching different animals roam freely together, multiple forest habitats growing side by side, and various water sources flowing into one other.
Their mission is to make Ewhurst Park a haven – for ourselves, their visitors and the livestock which live there.

They are a chance to spend time on the land, to see the changes taking place, and to be part of the story of Ewhurst Park as it unfolds.
Explore after dark and discover the fascinating world of bats on our seasonal Bat Walks. Guided by our knowledgeable rangers, you’ll walk through field margins and ancient woodland to bat hotspots, using detectors to hear and identify their calls.
Bat Walks
The estate is home to at least nine of the UK’s eighteen bat species, including the rare Barbastelle.
As night falls, you may also hear owls calling, deer moving through the woods, or other nocturnal wildlife awakening around you.
Learn about Ewhurst Park’s remarkable beavers — the first in Hampshire for over 400 years — and experience their world with an exclusive tour of their 7-acre enclosure. The event begins with a talk from our Rangers on beaver ecology and the important role these animals play in shaping landscapes and supporting biodiversity.
Beaver Enclosure
You can join a guided walk through the enclosure to see their dams, felled trees and changing habitat up close, and discover how their activity is transforming the ecosystem.
While sightings can’t be guaranteed, there is always the chance of spotting the beavers themselves — especially the young ones born this year.
A Wild Feast
Experience an outdoor feast inspired by the landscape of Ewhurst Park.
Set within ancient woodland beside the lake, this immersive dining event celebrates seasonal ingredients grown, foraged and produced on the estate.

The sharing menu showcases vibrant seasonal dishes, with vegetables, foraged ingredients and estate-reared meats cooked over open fire — all rooted in food produced in harmony with the land.

Their seasonal education days, held each spring and autumn, welcome local schools to the estate for immersive, hands-on experiences.
Designed to reflect the rhythms of nature and farming, each visit includes a mix of engaging presentations and practical activities — from planting and harvesting to earthworm surveys and exploring the soil beneath their feet.
The day runs from 10am to 2pm, with time to pause for lunch, offering a meaningful opportunity for students to connect with the land and learn alongside others in a shared, outdoor setting.
