Free Things This Weekend in Lyndhurst

10 picks around Lyndhurst, from 9 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
25–26 July Near Lyndhurst
Not every listing gets a golden ticket
We don't just scoop up anything with a £0 next to it. These picks still need to be nearby, useful, and properly explained, because 'free' is lovely but 'free and baffling' is less of a selling point.
Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Lyndhurst, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

at The Exchange, Sturminster Newton
Following last year’s sell-out concert, ROKiT Choir returns with ROKiT From the Musicals, bringing another unforgettable evening to The Exchange. Bigger and better than ever, this year’s show promises all the energy, heart, and entertainment that made the last performance such a huge success. Featuring over 100 singers from one of the area’s fastest-growing independent choirs, the performance will also proudly include the brand new Sturminster Newton ROKiT Choir group—making this a truly special local celebration of music and community. Audiences can look forward to a fantastic selection of songs from some of the most loved musicals around. From the powerful drama of Les Miserable to the feel-good anthems of We Will Rock You, alongside hits from Rock of Ages, Ghost and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. ROKiT are known for their vibrant performances, big sound, and welcoming atmosphere, making this the perfect night out whether you’re a musical theatre enthusiast or simply after some top-quality live entertainment. Adding an extra splash of fun, the evening will also feature special guests Opera-lele—a unique comedy duo combining opera, ukulele, and a brilliantly British sense of humour. Expect laughs, surprises, and something a little bit different. With last year’s show selling out, tickets are expected to go quickly—so don’t miss your chance to be part of another fantastic night of music, laughter, and community spirit.
