A Night of Sport and Community in Woodgreen

On the 27th of September, the atmosphere at The Horse in Woodgreen was electric as we hosted a packed house for the Women’s Rugby World Cup Final. Fans from across the New Forest gathered in our heated garden room and bar to cheer on the action live on the big screen.

The match itself was full of drama and intensity, showcasing the incredible talent and determination of the women’s game. Every try, tackle, and conversion was met with cheers, applause, and the occasional nail-biting silence as the crowd watched on. The spirit of the game was matched only by the spirit in the pub – locals and visitors alike raising their glasses in celebration of the sport.

But the real story of the night was here in Woodgreen. Families, friends, and even first-time visitors to the village came together to enjoy more than just the rugby. From enjoying delicious items on our menu to freshly poured pints at the bar, the evening was about community as much as competition. Plates of pub classics and sharing boards made their way around busy tables, while the new pizza kitchen was in full swing, keeping everyone fueled right up to the final whistle.

Moments like these show what The Horse is all about – bringing people together through good food, great company, and unforgettable events. Whether you were here for the rugby or just soaking up the atmosphere, it was a night that reminded us why sport and pubs are such a perfect match.
