SHOWBUSINESS! IT’S SHOWTIME, FOLKS!

At Spencers, we love a local show and there is a trio, including a county show and a village show, that we always support and attend as part of our local community. We also find they provide a convivial, relaxed, and fun environment in which to welcome familiar faces, make new friends, and discuss New Forest and coastal life and the local property market.
