Hampshire

With many of our favourite attractions now beginning to reopen their doors, we’ve rounded up some ways to enjoy outings across the country.

Summer is coming and there is no time like now to sip a glass of wine, drink ‘a pint of your finest’, or enjoy some gin to celebrate England’s vast array of breweries, vineyards and distilleries.

It’s a case of armchair travel in this month’s bulletin as we stay in and stay safe.

This month, we bring you news of cultural openings and a raft of new festivals. Head to Brighton to hear your favourite podcasts at the Wave Podcast Festival and to the New Forest for a new dog festival.

Whatever your tipple, discover new venues, savour new flavours and get shoulder-to-shoulder with alcohol experts around England for World Cocktail Day (13 May); English Wine Week (27 May – 4 June); and World Gin Day (9 June).

22 September is the Autumn Equinox and the first day of England’s most gloriously colourful – and some would say delicious – season.
