Join the Volunteer Team at the Milford on Sea Music Festival

The Milford on Sea Music Festival is looking for volunteers to join the team for this exciting community event.

The Music Festival will take place on

Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th July 2025.

Below is a little information about each volunteer role, each will make sure the Music Festival runs smoothly this year. The list is followed by a short form to let the Music Festival Team know what area you are willing to help with.

Road Barriers

At certain times during the set-up, and/or dismantling the event. (There will be road closures in place.)  We are looking for volunteers to man the road closure barriers to ensure vehicles do not enter restricted roads, may be give advice about alternative routes and to ensure that emergency services can get through if needed.

Bins

OK, we admit this isn't the most glamorous of jobs but is maybe one of the most important (along with litter picking below) and possibly the least time-consuming. We have a company that will provide the bins, will collect the refuse each day and take away our rubbish. However, we need a few people willing to gather the bins each morning and bring them to the top of the Green to be collected. This role will mostly suit the early risers.

Littler Picking

MOSMF realise how important it is to keep our village free from litter at all times but mostly during our festival. In 2023 our litter pickers did a fantastic job and we are hoping you will join the team this year. We are looking for litter pickers to be available for the duration of the two-day festival but also to pop on a head torch and make sure the Village Green and surrounding areas are free from litter at the end of each day ready for the bin collection in the mornings. The evening shifts will suit the night owls amongst us.

Toilets

Oh, we do like to offer you some luxury roles! But don't be alarmed, we are not asking you to clean the portaloos but to keep an eye to make sure they are stocked and generally being respected throughout the festival. The company that is supplying the portaloos will clean them each morning.

Bucket Shaking

Maybe dealing with toilets and rubbish isn't your thing. Well, this role might be of interest. We are looking for a willing team to cruise the green with donation buckets over the two days. The festival relies on sponsorship, donations and program sales so please don't underestimate the important role you will have joining this lovely team. We will have the opportunity for people to pay using card machines also, but we will be able to show you how to use them if you haven't before.

Information Tent

Not a fan of being on your feet all day? No problem, we have a role just for you. We are looking for a team of lovely people to man our information tent throughout the festival. We will brief you on everything you need to know to answer the majority of questions that may be asked.

Stewards

We need a few people to be present throughout the festival who can point people in the right direction, assist with disabled attendees or just with anybody who needs a bit of help to enjoy the festival.

To let the Music Festival Team know how you can help, please click here. 

If you are happy to volunteer but the time you are available for does not show on the form, please email the Music Festival Team. 

To find out more, please contact info@milfordonseamusicfestival.org.

No Funding Available to Repair Hurst Spit

Multiple storms during February significantly damaged Hurst Spit, narrowing the width of some areas on top of the shingle bank.

Picture by Chris Runeckles

It has now been reported that New Forest District Council do not have the money to carry out repairs and they are approaching landowners and organisations with an interest in Hurst Spit for financial support.

As the Hurst Spit to Lymington Strategy currently stands, the draft plan is to maintain the existing shape of Hurst Spit for the next 10 to 20 years. After which, active management would be reduced, 'eventually allowing the shingle formation to return to a more natural form'.

The statement above indicates that Hurst Spit would continue to be maintained for now, but it is unclear who would provide the funding, hence NFDC's current position.

Hurst Spit Survey

Sir Desmond Swayne, MP for New Forest West, is running a short, confidential survey to gather constituents’ opinions on the Environment Agency’s management of Hurst Spit to help shape local policy responses. 

To complete the survey, please click here.

----------------------

Who Owns Hurst Spit

Hurst Spit does not have a single, straightforward owner due to its complex status as a natural feature, a historical site, and a protected area. 

The ownership and management of the spit involve multiple entities, reflecting its mixed public and private interests.

Hampshire County Council owns portions of the land, particularly areas tied to coastal management and public access. There are also privately owned sections of Hurst Spit. These sections come with significant restrictions in a highly protected area with strict planning regulations that limit development.

Public rights of way also complicate ownership. 

The spit’s designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) further imposes environmental protections, limiting what any owner, public or private, can do with the land.

The majority of Hurst Spit is managed as part of the public domain, with significant oversight from governmental and conservation bodies. 

Historically, shingle replenishment and erosion control have been largely handled by the New Forest District Council and the Environment Agency.

Questions answered on Lasting Power of Attorney

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA's) have become a very popular topic these days for people to consider for themselves. 

Tony from LPAs For Locals has put together his list of the top 10 questions received from those who have attended his free weekly drop-in Every Monday between 10.15am to 12noon at The Bridge.

1. How many Lasting Powers of Attorney can I have?

Answer: A minimum of 1 and theoretically as many as you like. More than one is advised if possible and 2 or 3 is the most common.

2. Can I add another Lasting Powers of Attorney to an existing LPA?

Answer: No. However, if the Donor (the person giving the authority) still has capacity, they can cancel the existing LPA and create a new Lasting Powers of Attorney(s).

3. Can I cancel my existing Lasting Power of Attorney?

Answer: Yes, so long as you still have mental capacity to do so. There is a formal revocation procedure to follow.

4. Why should I make a Lasting Power of Attorney?

Answer: Making a Lasting Power of Attorney keeps you in control of who you choose to be responsible for looking after your affairs and decisions if you are no longer capable of doing so yourself.

5. What if the Donor or Attorneys named on an existing LPA change their address?

Answer: You should notify the Office of the Public Guardian who will amend their records. You should never amend / change your LPA legal document yourself in any way as it will invalidate it.

6. Who should make a Lasting Power of Attorney?

Answer: Anyone during adult life can become incapable of being able to manage their own affairs as a result of illness or accident, regardless of how old they are.

7. What happens if I don't make a Lasting Power of Attorney prior to losing mental capacity?

Answer: Someone, e.g. a family member or friend will likely have to apply to the Court of Protection who will appoint a Deputy to make decisions for you. This is a complex, time consuming and very expensive process and at that stage you have lost control of choosing who in fact is appointed. You would have no input to the decision which could be very stressful for your loved ones as the person appointed may not be who you would have chosen yourself when you had the opportunity to do so.

8. What happens to my LPA when I die?

Answer: Your LPA and ceases immediately upon death whereupon your Will would then take over.

9. Can any of my LPA's create or amend my Will?

Answer: No, absolutely not!

10. Do my LPA's have to send or give the original LPA document to a financial institution or health professional to prove they have authority to act on my behalf?

Answer: You can use the original paper LPA document if you wish and many still do, but a more recent development and alternative option is your attorney can give them a secure unique access code to view a summary of the document online. This can be quicker and more convenient in many situations.

Fury as The Lazy Lion to become a Night Club

Locals are outraged at the news that The Lazy Lion is to become a Night Club.

Since unexpectedly closing its doors on the 23rd September 2024, The Lazy Lion pub has sat empty with forlorn beer pumps and the once popular restaurant sadly inoperative.

Speculation has been rife as to what was to become of this popular village pub situated in an historic Grade II Listed former eighteenth century coaching inn.

Many expected the pub to reopen as a bar and restaurant, but it appears that will not happen now.

Submitted artist's impression

The New Flim-Flam Night Club is part of The Imagine Entertainment Group and they have numerous venues across the UK.

Bobby Dazzle, general manager of the new night club said: "Our aim is to make the night club accessible to all and to become part of the local community. We are looking to cover a variety of genres of music during the week, and at weekends the club will focus on a mix of rave and grime music until we close at 2am. I have a lot of respect for local residents, so we will stop playing music from 1am during the week."

To fully utilise the building, during the day there will be dance classes for those who want to learn classic rave moves. The classes will be open to all ages and will be taken by Tommy Twinkle. Tommy also choreographed all the rave dance sequences on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.

It is also understood that there is existing planning permission for an elevated decking area connected to the rear of the property extending to approximately 646 sq. ft. Flim-Flam has plans to make this into a jacuzzi complex for ravers when the night club is open. During the day, the facility will be available to local naturist groups.

Layout Plan for the Future Interior

Recently, a village protest group has been formed to lobby the New Forest District Council to reject the premises license application from Flim-Flam.

The group, Neighbours Against Flim-Flam (NAFF) is led by Ivor Issue who lives close to the back of the new venue.

Ivor commented, "This is not a welcome addition to the village and the pub will be sorely missed. The dance classes with Tommy Tinkle are all well and good and claim to be inclusive, but there is no mention of including those who love to rave but are now using walking frames."

Fellow local resident, Bill Peeper said, "It is going to be bad enough having banging music until into the early hours of the morning, but my real issue is that I will have to hang out of my window to see the naturists in the jacuzzi area during the day."

If you would like to join NAFF and have your views heard, please contact Ivor at ivor@ubeenhad.org.

Village Winners in A&T Food & Drink Awards

Milford on Sea was strongly represented at the A&T Food & Drink Awards at a special reception held at Balmer Lawn Hotel, Brockenhurst on Tuesday 25th March 2025.

The awards aim is to give credit where it is truly due and recognise those who work tirelessly to deliver exceptional food and drink.

The village had three finalists nominated for awards in the A&T Food & Drink Awards, which ended in success on the night. 

David Wykes at Verveine won the Chef of the Year. We also had two runner's up: Sammy's Café in Coffee Shop of the Year, and The Smugglers in Pub of the Year.

Picture by Advertiser & Times

As an aside, established chef Shintaro Ito, who learnt his skills after three years in Australia, three years in Canada and ten years in Tokyo, and now he owns and runs the Japanese fish restaurant, Kyoto Kitchen in Winchester.

In a recent interview, Shintaro revealed that his favourite place to eat in Hampshire is Verveine Fish Market Restaurant; commenting "I love the playfulness, the composition of ingredients, techniques, texture, colour and taste." - High praise from a fellow professional chef.

Verveine is also number 50 position in the top 100 restaurants in the prestigious Hardens Restaurant Guide for 2025. To put this into perspective, this ranking puts them higher than iconic dining rooms such as The Ritz, The Fat Duck and other Michelin Star restaurants.  www.hardens.com/top-100-uk-restaurants

Yacht destroyed on Milford on Sea Rocks

A drama unfolded on Milford on Seafront around lunchtime on Friday 28th March 2025. The weather was fine with a relatively calm, yet choppy sea when a yacht got into trouble.

It is unclear what the issue was, but it appeared mechanical, as the sailor was seen to be battling to save his yacht from grounding on the rocks near The White House.

Sadly, the tide was too strong, and his efforts were unsuccessful as it entered shallow water.

Thankfully, the stricken craft was soon attended by the Coastguard and RNLI Lymington Lifeboat waded in to take the yacht skipper safety ashore.

Photo by Miggy Flux

The yacht was flying a red ensign flag, which indicates that it is a British registered vessel. The yacht's name could not be identified from the shore.

It is understood that the RNLI tried to recover the yacht, but the tide went out too fast and it has been said that there appeared to be an issue with a trapped anchor. It is assumed that the recovery could continue on a high tide.

Photos by Miggy Flux

However, after a still night, it was discovered on the Saturday morning that the yacht had broken up on the rocks and the shipwreck was strewn across Milford on Sea beach.

A classic example of the power of the sea, even when all appears calm on land.
