GIAG Come N Go: Winchester Christmas Market Trip

About this event

Join us for a festive day trip to the Winchester Christmas Market!

We’ll meet at Southampton Central Train Station (Costa Coffee Side) at 10:30 a.m., where we'll catch the train together to Winchester.

Upon arrival, we’ll enjoy a scenic walk to the market, taking in the holiday atmosphere and decorations along the way. Once at the market, you’ll have free time to explore the charming stalls, enjoy seasonal treats, shop for gifts, and soak up the Christmas spirit at your own pace.

We’ll regroup at the end of the day to take the train back together, bringing home memories and holiday cheer!
