About Ringwood

Ringwood is the market town at a crossing of the River Avon, which its town council calls the western gateway to the New Forest. Its Wednesday market has been held under a royal charter since 1226.

Eight hundred years of Wednesdays

Ringwood keeps a very old weekly appointment. Ringwood Town Council records that the original grant to hold a market on Wednesdays was made in March 1226, in the reign of Henry III, and that the market has been held every week since. The town marked 800 years of its royal market charter in 2026. A cattle market in the Furlong ran alongside it until 1988.

The council calls Ringwood the traditional market town of the New Forest, standing at a crossing point of the River Avon and forming the western gateway to the forest. Much of the town centre is a conservation area, protected for its historic character.

Size and business

The ONS counted 12,785 people in the Ringwood built-up area at the 2021 Census, close in size to Lymington (14,865) and New Milton (11,870) on the same ONS table. Ringwood has its own town council; the district council is New Forest District Council.

Business figures are kept for the whole district. The ONS business register counted 7,855 enterprises across New Forest district in 2026. That covers every town and village in the district, so it is a measure of the wider area a Ringwood business draws on, not a count of the town's own firms.

Coming to an event

Ringwood has no railway station, so plan to come by road, and check the venue's arrival guide on its page here for parking.

Events listed under Ringwood have included a business breakfast at Burley Manor, on Ringwood Road in Burley. For more around the forest, see Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst, New Milton and Cadnam, or the whole of the New Forest.
