Shopping
Southampton is a haven for retail therapy. WestQuay,
one of the UK’s top 10 shopping centres, has all your
high-street favourites in a single location. The city
centre is bursting with quirky boutiques and an
impressive number of designer stores – as well as
plenty of choice if your budget is tight.
A great night out
Whether you are into the club scene or you just want
a quiet evening, there is something for everyone in
Southampton. The city is student friendly and every
evening students fill the pubs and clubs – many of
which offer good-value student nights.
Clubs in Southampton offer a mix of music nights,
but if you just want to unwind, head to Oxford Street in
the city centre, which has a wide variety of restaurants,
as well as cosy cafés and lounge bars. Leisure World is
an entertainment complex that features a 13-screen
cinema, two nightclubs, a casino, bowling alley, bars
and restaurants. For art-house films you can visit the
Harbour Lights Picturehouse, located on the waterfront.
Winchester
Home to our School of Art, Winchester was once
the capital of England and has a rich history. The city
is proud of its eleventh-century cathedral, cultural
heritage and lively atmosphere.
The ancient city streets are always bustling, with a
range of great shops. The city really comes alive with
the Winchester Hat Fair street festival, featuring music,
dance, cabaret and circus acts, and the Hi:Fi South
dance festival plays host to a range of live acts and
big-name DJs.
