Winchester is a popular city to visit and live in for many reasons and at this time of year, it comes into its own.

Named ‘Englands Christmas Capital’, the festivities kicked off last week with the Christmas lights being switched on accompanied by live music from The Hoosiers and none other than Ocean Colour Scene!

This Thursday, there is a lantern procession to mark the opening of the Christmas Market and Ice Rink.  The stunning parade will make its way from the Great Hall, through the High Street, to the Cathedral for the official opening ceremony, ice skating display and fireworks.
