The New Forest

Live caricature artist drawing wedding guests, New Forest, Hampshire

Planning a celebration in the New Forest? I’m Adam, a professional live caricaturist, and I draw at weddings, hotel events and parties right across the Forest, from Lymington to Ringwood.

I’m just a short ferry hop away, so the New Forest is one of my easiest places to reach. Every caricature is hand-drawn on the spot, takes around five minutes, and every guest takes their drawing home.

Country and barn weddings
The New Forest is full of beautiful wedding venues, from country house hotels to rustic barns and marquees in the grounds. Caricatures are perfect for the relaxed parts of the day: the drinks reception on the lawn, the wait for the wedding breakfast, or the evening party. Guests love watching, and the drawings make keepsake favours. Around four hours covers 20–30 couples.

Hotel and venue entertainment
Country hotels, spas and venues use caricatures for wedding fairs, open days, summer events and festive evenings. It’s an easy way to give guests a memorable extra and get people talking about your venue.

Christmas parties and business events
Company Christmas lunches and dinners at Forest hotels, team days out and client hospitality. A caricaturist gets everyone chatting and gives your team a souvenir of the day.

Village events and family celebrations
Summer fetes, shows, open gardens and community events, as well as milestone birthdays, anniversaries and family reunions. See my birthday parties page for party ideas.

Areas I cover
Lymington, Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst, Beaulieu, Milford on Sea, New Milton, Ringwood, Fordingbridge, Burley, Hythe, Totton’s western edge and villages across the Forest. If your venue isn’t listed, just ask.
