New Gin Club

Well, having loved Gin for a while and seeing as this alcoholic drink is getting more and more popular, the Southsea Folk team thought why not start a Gin Club. Somewhere we can all chat about new gins we have tried and loved, listen to experts tell us information, doing talks around new gins and go visit some festivals with a possibility of going to a distillery or two!

Home Coffee Shop

Welcome (to) Home. Whether I'm grabbing a quick takeaway or settling down for a few hours to work (and work my way through the menu) I always feel welcome here. Home Coffee is a triumph in Portsmouth's independent coffee shop scene, which has exploded in the last few years.

The Apothecary

Meeting Wendy from Budds Herbal Apothecary was a breath of fresh air, such a lovely person with a good ethos and offering a fantastic service. I have only ever been to one other apothecary and that was The Cabinet of Curiosities in Howarth. I have to say it had a different feel to it, being one of the oldest apothecaries in England it had a historical feel and walking around it felt like you were in a museum with grand mahogany glass cabinets, and great big antique counters, greeting you at every turn . I honestly didn't think I would walk inside one close to my home in Southsea!

Little Old Goose

I’m really inspired by people who are not just living their lives but ‘curating’ their lives. I know it sounds a bit ‘way out’ but people who follow their true calling and take time to make their souls happy. I met Lucy Davies at a wedding fair in Winchester a few years ago and she came back onto my radar last year when I was planning an event and I realised she lived in Southsea.

March Things To Do

March is a great month as the nights are getting lighter, Spring is on the way and bulbs are coming out. Tulips are lovely flowers to pop up and of course the daffodil which brings on the feeling of Easter. So here are a few of our favourite things to do this March. Whatever you do have fun!

The Urban Sketcher

Setting up Southsea Folk we have had some rather cool followers and one that kept popping up was Joe Hart. Watching his Instagram I could see a few photos that started to have a pattern, buildings! What I found myself doing was waiting to see which urban place he was going to draw next. Loving sketches I felt drawn to his work and decided I had to meet him.

Parade Tea Rooms

Having just come back from a bar that had been made out of old gents toilets I popped into the Parade Tea Rooms for brunch and saw the owner there. We were talking about how lots of people say 'oh meet you at the toilet blocks!' when in actual fact it wasn't a toilet block but an electrical substation.

Wellbeing Workshop

Five hours of sitting and thinking about looking after myself more while listening to four great speakers seemed like a nice way to spend a Sunday and I was right it was!

Surviving January

How did you get on in January? Did you survive? Did you race to the gym? or promise to have a dry January? Did you decide this was the month that you were not going to eat meat and join in the Veganuary trend?

The Makers Guild

Having a creative community maker space is a vision that 3 guys decided they wanted to make happen right here in the heart of Portsmouth and right in the heart of the Guildhall.
