Free Spirit.

We’re proud to be supporting Free Spirit.

Supporting local community.

Community and charity are at the core of what Barn Door Events stands for.

"Freedom at sea is a wonderful feeling"

Free Spirit is a community boat that will enable people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the ocean, recreational activities and engage in sustainable practices.

It is a proven fact that there are huge mental wellbeing benefits of being out on the water and the relevance to those involved. The "Let’s Build a Boat” project was conceived to provide everyone, regardless of age or ability to access the ocean for leisure, wellbeing and sustainability projects. The purpose was to create a dynamic real project, with purpose, that would have far reaching benefits, not only for learning in the construction and project management process, but also importantly benefiting a wide range of people in the local community.

Bringing Free Spirit to life

We’ve partnered with the talented team at Free Spirit to help support Free Spirit in their events and fund raising activities.

We have several fund raising events planned through the year, expect similar vibes to our other events. Great food, live music and fresh beer.

How to get there

The Black Barn is situated on Hayling Island opposite the Lidl and is a short 7 minute walk from the bus stop on the 30 and 31 bus routes.

The Portsmouth to Hayling ferry is a great option for those cycling from the city.

We also have some very limited parking at the venue.

Several taxi firms operate around the island however we do recommend booking well in advance.
