Summer Function

Friday 9th June

The Newt

The Royal Navy Medical Club are delighted to bring our members together in the picturesque grounds of the Newt for a summer garden party and BBQ in the heart of the West Country.

This idyllic venue is the vision of Chelsea Flower Show sponsors Koos Bekker and Karen Roos who, from the ruins of a Roman Villa, have delicately developed the grounds into a working country estate with lush gardens, dense woodlands and a cyder mill. Guests will be received with welcome drinks and the freedom to explore the Roman inspired gardens with refreshing Somerset cyder pressed on-site. We hope as many of our members will be available to attend as possible and guests are welcomed.

Accommodation: Those who wish, have the option to stay at the 5* boutique Georgian Manor House located within the expansive grounds of the Newt. Locally, the Somerset villages of Castle Carey and Wincanton offer affordable hotel, bed and breakfast options within easy reach. Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton is also situated just a short drive away.

Timings: Guests may arrive anytime from 1800 onwards. Carriages 2350. Transportation from RNAS Yeovilton will be scoped in due course, if interested in this option, please indicate this on your booking.

Rig: The Newt is an relaxing and peaceful venue, guests are therefore invited to dress accordingly and embrace a slower pace. There is no requirement for jacket’s, ties, or formal dresses but please no jeans or t-shirts.

Tickets: £47. Price held from 2022, tickets are now on sale via the RNMC Shop. Click Here to access.
