Southampton Social and Activity MeetUp group

Let’s don our Christmas jumpers and hats 🎅 and go for a late afternoon festive walk in and around Winchester 🎄

Meet at 2pm by the King Alfred Statue. From there we’ll walk out towards St Catherine’s Hill, along Garnier Road, through Kingsgate and into the Inner Close and the Christmas Market. We’ll then head towards the High Street and back to the start of the walk. We’ ll stop for refreshments around half way at the Queen Inn - I’ll provide some mince pies. For those that fancy, we’ll be going to Weatherspoon afterwards for a drink/food.
The walk is approximately 2.5miles, on the flat and will be on pathways and pavements. The forecast is for a dull day but no rain 🤞
Please be aware it is very busy in Winchester at the moment and allow extra time for travel/parking.
There is free parking at Chesil Street, Riverpark and Worthy Lane

I've got seat in row D booked if you'd like to sit in the same row or nearby.
There is free parking at Harbour lights but don't forget to enter your vehicle registration on the pad at Reception or at the Bar to avoid a nasty fine.

Here's the decription:-
We're thrilled to welcome Tim Vine to Picturehouse for a screening of Rocker 'Brella Fella! At the end of the film, there will be a brief Q&A – so think up a good question during the film.
Vine writes, directs and star in a brand new rocking Plastic Elvis feature film, with 26 original new songs and a silly toe tapping tale that’ll send your spirits soaring.
Sam Salono (Vine) returns home to Widestairs. The family umbrella business is in trouble ,but he’s not planning on staying long – he got engaged when he was in Waikiki.
It’s one catchy tune after another as Sam rocks his way through every situation; a boat trip, a crazy golf course, a chance meeting with a local comedian, nothing can stop him. “Are you in a party mood?” he shouts to the Beach bar audience. “Yes I am!” they all shout back, and you will be too, after you’ve watched ROCKER BRELLA ‘FELLA.
