Stagbridge

**Stagbridge** is a nowhere town of ~4000 residents, serviced by the mundane Beulieu Road Station, located within the New Forest south-east of Southampton, in southern England.

The town is best known for containing Polypore Comprehensive, a magic school more catered to non-wand students than Hogwarts, and for its history as what some would consider a ghetto for elves and some other heritages restricted by the Statute of Secrecy. It also has strong connections to the Wimbourne Wasps, being the nowhere town closest to its origin in Wimborne Minster.

#### Connection to Wimbourne Wasps

Wimborne Minster has a very old mage population, but is mostly non-mage. As a result, the Ministry of Magic placed a restriction on how much Mage travel could occur within any given time period, to avoid breaches of the Statute of Secrecy. This disallowed the large influx of fans wishing to stay within the town for Wimbourne Wasps matches, so many stay in accommodation in Stagbridge, mostly in the Match Inn.
