Welcome to the Emery Down Village Website --
a website for the village by the village. It brings together all the key areas of village life - the Almshouses, Church, Local History Group, Phone Box, Pubs and the Village Hall - and includes information specific to the New Forest.
It is the place where you can join the Email Lists for local news and events in the village as well as the Neighbourhood Watch group.
New Forest ponies
The New Forest pony is part of the traditional forest scene and has been for more than a thousand years. Although the ponies are owned they are left to live as wild out in the forest.
Please follow The New Forest Code.
Garden Waste Collection – New Forest District Council service
Due to staff shortages NFDC has suspended its Garden Waste Collection service from Monday 19 July for four weeks at least. NFDC will let us know when this service will resume. In the meantime, please remember that dumping your garden waste on and in the Forest is NOT AN OPTION. Your garden waste can kill ponies and livestock and could injure children – please keep our Forest safe. If you see Garden Waste dumped in the Forest please report it to NFDC.
Coronavirus (from 19 July 2021)
Government restrictions to help stop the spread of COVID-19 have changed but key protections remain (follow the above 19 July link to read more). While cases are high and rising, everybody needs to continue to act carefully and remain cautious. A number of organisations in the local area have opted to continue following the ‘hands, face, space’ guidance on a voluntary basis. Please be aware of this and be kind. We share responsibility to keep others safe as well as ourselves - hands, face, space and fresh air will help keep the New Forest safe.
Church opening hours
First, second and fourth Sundays - 11 am for public worship (Booking not needed but please log in with the welcomer when you enter church.)
Wednesdays - 1-4 pm for private prayer.
Please see the church website, Facebook and A Church Near You for further details.
