Summer Grill & Garden Party – Friday 5th June
Join us for a Summer Grill & Garden Party at Careys Manor, set across the front lawn and Cedar Patio, where relaxed summer dining meets live music and a vibrant garden atmosphere.
A Relaxed Summer Evening in the New Forest
Whether you’re local to Brockenhurst, visiting the New Forest, or staying with us at Careys Manor, this summer event offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a laid-back evening with friends, family or colleagues.
There’s something special about a summer evening in the gardens — good food on the grill, a drink in hand, and music playing as the sun begins to set. It’s an easy, relaxed atmosphere where you can catch up with friends, enjoy the warm evening air and simply slow down for a while. As the night unfolds, the music picks up, the conversation flows, and before long you may find yourself dancing under the open sky. With great food, live saxophone and a DJ setting the tone, it’s all about enjoying a laid-back summer evening and making the most of the longer, lighter nights at Careys Manor.
Start the evening with a drink on arrival, before enjoying a BBQ grill feast served outdoors as the sun sets. Throughout the evening, Coastal Discos DJ will bring summer sounds, while saxophonist Claire Manners adds a relaxed festival feel to the gardens, where you can dance the night away until 11pm.
