Our History
The Story of Carvers
Carvers Clubhouse began with a simple idea —to create a welcoming space where young people could relax, meet friends and develop confidence.
The centre was made possible through support from Hampshire County Council, Ringwood Town Council and New Forest District Council.
Pupils from Ringwood School developed a business plan. They had identified that the young people of Ringwood wanted an inclusive space where they can relax, meet friends and develop social skills in a safe, comfortable, café style atmosphere. The ethos of providing an inclusive space continues today.

FAQs
Here you’ll find answers to some of our most commonly asked questions.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please get in touch – we’re happy to help!
Our opening hours change seasonally, for up to date opening hours please see our home page opening hours section.
Here at Carvers Clubhouse, we are always looking for new and exciting classes and activities that benefit the local community.
Every Thursday during term time we host Ringwood Under 1s and Stay and Play sessions.
We run regular activities during the school holidays, including sports sessions, music sessions and arts sessions.
If you are interesting in hiring a room to hold your classes or workshops we would love to hear from you.
Anyone can hire the centre. However, we do prioritise those who provide services and activities for children and young people. We have an online enquiry form (see ‘Hire’ page) which you can complete or email ebony.hooper@ringwood.gov.uk to ask about availability.
We do not have a designated car park as such. There is plenty of street parking surrounding the recreation park. The main town centre car parks are a 5 minute walk (10 minutes at toddler speed!) We recommend you allow a few minutes extra for parking when first visiting us.
If you hire the centre and need to bring in large amounts of equipment then we can provide you with access onto the recreation ground but this needs to be arranged with us in advance.
