I’m looking forward to doing my Southampton and Christmas Past tours at 1.30pm on Saturday 7 December and Sunday 15 December 2024.
These are public tours, and so if you want to join me, simply book online – details below – or pay on the day. We meet beside the lions on the north side of the Bargate.
We’ll be exploring Southampton’s historic past – from the Romans, through to the Saxons, Normans, medieval times, and on through our surprising elegant Georgian period, and into the 20th Century and the Second World War which had such a devastating effect on our city.
We’ll be visiting some of the amazing old buildings – such as medieval wine vaults – and structures, including the city wall. Did you know that Southampton has more medieval city wall still standing than any other city?
And we’ll be hearing about some of the famous stories and people connected to Southampton – along with tales of how Southampton has celebrated Christmas since the Romans were here.
Tickets are £8.30 through Eventbrite, for Saturday 7 December and Sunday 15 December – simply click on the links below – or £7 on the day if spaces are available.
People are always astounded by just how much history Southampton can boast – so do come along and find out for yourselves! I’m looking forward to seeing you and sharing the stories of Southampton’s Christmases past.
