Southampton Social and Activity

I have booked a ticket for the 3pm tour @ Breamore House - as it is a little way out, I have also booked a table in the nearby Bat and Ball pub @ 12.15 to have a lovely Sunday lunch before we explore the house
You can either join the tour with me ( you will need to book asap as the tours are small and sell out quickly) or just join us for lunch @ 12.15
I have booked a table for 8 people but if enough interest I could increase the booking or a second table - please put in the comments if you have a ticket for the tour or just lunch?

Maskers are putting this on to celebrate Jane Austen and her links with Southampton.
It is a comedy of the Rom Com ilk
Our Heroine Catherine Morland has finally arrived at Northanger Abbey where reality meets fantasy as she devours the Gothic Novel "The Mysteries of Udolpho" The more horrid, the better!"
What really happened to General Tilney's wife?...and does the answer lie locked in a secret chest in the Abbey?
Can Catherine remain friends with everyone...and who can she trust? Will there be wedding bells...and for whom?

Thought it sounded quite fun and also thought maybe best to book before the school holidays when many have holidays themselves and for some, child-care duties!
Tickets not bad at £15...on road parking around. I have A7 and will be in the bar from 7pm to relax as usual with a welcome glass of something. Of course you can meet in Santos if more convenient...up to you really..though can be a tad iffy for seats.

Brilliant cast...Anne Reid, Caroline Quentin and Daisy Goodwin.

A funny and poignant celebration about the power only a Queen can wield.
"She charms the world through coats, and admonishes her family with a carefully chosen hat!

I have booked seat BB14 in order to hear everything!....but please don't feel obliged to do similar. https://www.mayflower.org.uk/whats-on/by-royal-appointment-2025/#book

I will be in Basement Bar from 1:15ish in order to get a good parking place, with a coffee or similar...down steps on right hand side as you look at Theatre.

I'm sure most of you can remember Danny Baker's voice on radio.....Danny Baker was a very popular radio DJ known for his irrepressible style, generosity to callers, and ability to help callers extract the best stories from their calls. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of music - particularly 70s Then after a long career in entertainment, he was sacked.
Come to Central Hall in Southampton on 11th July 2025 to find out about his amazing career!

Tickets £27.50 in advance only. (£1.50 booking fee)
