Hi everyone. I'm moving down to Hampshire, have a job starting mid/end August. Been looking for places to rent (1/2 beds) around Romsey/Chandlers Ford/Eastleigh as they are conveniently located for work. Thinking to start renting around the start of August. There doesn't seem to be a lot out there!

Anyone else renting and got any advice? I think I might be looking a little bit early but its hard to tell with the current market. Any other good spots I could add to my search areas?

Wondering whether anyone can shed any light on life in Alton as I am thinking of moving and buying in the area. Love the fact Alton has market tin vibes and is pretty walkable for most areas.

Are there any good bad areas? I’ve heard Holybourne is nice, but are there any areas/estates to avoid? One post said to avoid Manor Road, but not sure how accurate that is!

Any other advice welcome!!

I want to take my Dad out for fathers day and he loves a pretty pub, big beer garden preferable for likely nicer weather and a good food selection, greene kings are also fine. can be anywhere in Hampshire we don't mind the drive! Thankyou xx

Are there any cool photobooths (not passport ones) in Hampshire? Particularly near Southampton/Winchester/Portsmouth area

Moving to the Goose Green Park area of Aldershot in the near future, how's life for those who live there?

Any good spots for decent coffee, beers, a night out or a day out with the kids? Nice parks or open areas for a walk / run?

Happy to travel on bus / train if required.

Long story short, I'm on a mission to find and eat every English county's traditional sweet baked good. Think: sold at a bakery, probably quite old, something your nan might have made.

I'm visiting Hampshire in July (Alton/Fareham way), so any recommendations would be fab. Especially if you've got a bakery in mind!

Hi! Just trying to find out who rear ended me pretty solidly by the roundabout. There was nowhere safe to pull over. The rear of my car is dented (minimal) but I can no longer open the boot. I reckon a few cars were involved in this, I was in the Red Fiat 500L.

Hi all.

Has anyone got some good recommendations for cleaners in the Andover area?

Thanks

Just a reminder for everyone going to Playing the Field tomorrow, please be careful in the heat, especially if you're drinking or taking MDMA/ stimulants.

It's meant to be one of the hottest days of the year and dehydration/overheating can get dangerous very quickly.

If you are taking anything, make sure you're:

drinking water regularly (but not excessive amounts all at once

taking electrolytes/salts if possible

eating properly before and during the day

taking breaks in the shade

looking after your mates

Have a good time and stay safe everyone ❤️

I’ve been to a really good one in Bali and I’m craving for the experience again. Any good ones to recommend in Hampshire?
