Sassy's Needs Your Bras!

Sassy's New Forest in Milford on Sea high street (between La Perle and Pickled Weasel) needs your bras!

The shop is supporting the 'Against Breast Cancer' Bra Bank campaign.

The project aims to prevent old bras from ending up in landfill by collecting and then sending them to a recycling company who then pay 'Against Breast Cancer' for them. The bras are then sold to small market businesses in African countries creating jobs and supporting the local economy. In these communities, something as simple as wearing a bra, suggests wealth and influence which helps prevent women being attacked and abused.

This money raised by Against Breast Cancer is used for breast cancer research. 

So ladies, please don't bin your bras, recycle them at the Bra Bank in the shop.


About Sassy's New Forest

The shop offers comprehensive selection of bags, clothing and accessories which combine the joy of colour and exciting design. 

Formerly known as Beyond The Skin Handbags, Sassy’s new venture in Milford on Sea, owned by Sarah Fitzgerald, is in addition to stores in Lyndhurst and Ringwood, as well as their range being available online through their website.

Milford Girls Cricket Victory at The Ageas Bowl

Milford on Sea Primary School continued its extraordinary month of sporting achievements by winning the Girls Dynamos Cricket Hampshire County Final at the Ageas Bowl on Tuesday 28th June.


Having won the New Forest qualifying event a few weeks earlier, a squad of 10 from the Milford Girls Cricket Team travelled to the Ageas to play off against eight other regional winning teams from across Hampshire.

Back Row: L – R: 
Georgia Barber, Pippa Mellor, Millie Bence
Maisie Barber, Kayla Phillips
Front Row: L – R: 
Ellie Lane, Daisy Wills, Evie Hayward
Clover Dunn, Ellie Courts
From the first to the last ball bowled, the Milford girls were absolutely unstoppable and showcased quite outstanding skills and cricket.

The girls hit a huge 567 runs, and conceded a total of 104 over the four matches they played, outscoring each of their opponents by over 100 runs in each match.

They took 32 wickets during the day – 12 run-outs, 15 bowled and 5 caught and only lost four wickets.

Boundaries and sixes flowed with all the girls contributing and the fielding, particularly the direct hit run-outs were breath-taking to watch. Even the Ageas Bowl coaches/personnel were awestruck!

After a final match in which they took a staggering 10 wickets Milford were justifiably crowned Hampshire Champions.

All the girls learnt to play cricket during the first lockdown in March 2020, via homemade videos sent to them by their coaches. Once restrictions eased, the girls started to train in earnest at Barnes Lane Rec and have not looked back since. This year the Milford Girls Cricket Club welcomed another 15 ‘new recruits’ and the 30 strong club all attend weekly training sessions.

Spectacular Lunch at Verveine

As the UK face soaring inflation it can be hard for many people to find the cash to eat out. On the other hand, every now and then everyone needs a treat, and of course dining out anywhere helps to support our hard hit village hospitality businesses.

For a birthday celebration we decided to go for the Six Course Lunchtime Taster Menu (£39pp) created by an extraordinary chef. In fact, we were actually served nine courses when including the complimentary dishes which come with the menu! This meal would easily be over £100 per person in an equivalent London restaurant.

Milford on Sea's spectacular fine dining fish restaurant has an amazing lunch offering starting at £24 for two courses. The dining room is small and intimate and whilst admiring the art created by the plates of food it is easy to miss the walls featuring various artworks including pieces by Salvador Dali.

Verveine take a different approach to dining out, their menu is created to include a mixture of Verveine favourites alongside new and seasonally inspired creations with the very best ingredients.

They simply ask 3 questions when you arrive:
  1. How many courses would you like?
  2. Is there anything you don't fancy eating?
  3. And do you have any allergies?
They then take it from there, whilst you sit back and relax and enjoy your extra special dining experience.

Daily Changing Lunch Menu
  • 2 course: £24
  • 3 course: £29
  • 6 course tasting lunch menu: £39
Evening Menu
  • 4 courses: £55 - £88 with matching wines
  • 6 courses: £75 - £110 with matching wines
  • 8 courses: £95 - £130 with matching wines
As always the menu is packed with flavours and the creative flair that only chef patron, David Wykes and Helen can pull off. If you enjoy eating fish it would be hard to find a better place to experience the fruits of the sea.





To book please call: 01590 642176 or visit: www.verveine.co.uk.

Sunshine for Armed Forces Day on Village Green

The Royal British Legion Celebratory Picnic was held to celebrate Armed Forces Day on 25th June 2022 on Milford on Sea Village Green.

An overcast morning looked ominous, but by the time the event started at 12 noon the sun had come out, along with a lot of picnic goers. Milford on Sea never hesitates to join in a party!

This charming free of charge village event invited people to bring a picnic whilst they enthusiastically sang along and danced to the music of The Two Mikes and The Jems.

The afternoon also included a stall by the Milford on Sea Royal British Legion, a raffle and collection. The Cave were also providing drinks and tapas on their village green benches.
