Excellently linked with national rail to London, ferries to the isle of Wight and just off the M27 and M3, Southampton sits on the South Coast of Hampshire, nestled between the New Forest and South Downs national park. It’s the home of the Mayflower theatre, Southampton FC, and it was even the take off point of the infamous Titanic back in the 1900s. Over the years it has transformed into a buzzing city where the nightlife has come into its own, boasting Ocean Village, a marina that is so much more than just a spot to moor boats, as it also hosts a number of shops, restaurants and even a cinema. With a wide variety of restaurants, venues and bars across the city, it lends itself as the perfect spot to plan your next special occasion. And if it’s the wow factor you’re after, wanting a venue that will keep guests talking long after the lights go back on, there are also larger venues just outside of Southampton, in areas like Fareham, Winchester, and Chichester that will tick all of the boxes. From hotel meeting rooms with a 25 person capacity, to some of the most impressive British estates able to hold 500 people standing. There are options for all parties and events, whether for friends and family or a more corporate affair. Head to this waterside city for an event you won’t forget, because no matter what you’re in the mood for, Southampton is sure to cater for it.
