WE ’ RE FEELING FESTIVE !
There ’ s no better place to be at Christmas than in Winchester . From the bustling Christmas market full of local traders to the singing of the choristers in the cathedral choir , city traditions great and small all contribute to a fabulous festive season .
This issue we bring you an eclectic mix of Winter activities to choose from - from spectacular light shows to pantomime , crafting and sporting events .
Create Christmas food to wow friends and family - we ’ ve listed our local favourites . And find pages and pages of recommendations for wining and dining – from small independents to big hotels offering party nights .
This issue ’ s health and wellbeing specialists really inspired us to make changes ourselves . Menopausal but struggling ? Book in with Deborah from Remedi Health . Suffering with dry eye ? Laser Vision Hampshire has a new treatment delivering great results . Joining a gym in January ? Read the great advice from Scott from Station Mill first .
Our cover comes from Winchester artist Jo Burgess from Green Magpie ( www . green-magpie . co . uk ). Jo creates detailed collages of homes and buildings from tiny pieces of paper and created this lovely depiction of Kingsgate without charge for Winchester Beacon ’ s 2023 Christmas card .
As always , we ’ d like to say a big thank-you to our advertisers , who help us to create a magazine we ’ re really proud of .
We wish them , and you , a very happy Christmas .
Enjoy !
