We ' re feeling so very 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 .
Inside you ’ ll also find pages of great ideas for Christmas shopping from small independents and local specialists offering a wide range of festive fare .
We also meet new Winchester and Meon Valley MP Danny Chambers who tells us how he ’ s hit the ground running in his first few months , campaigning and getting results for his constituents . And got a puppy !
And we hear why Christmas is a time for companionship , community and reflection at Emmaus Hampshire .
As always , we ’ d like to say a big thank-you to our advertisers , who help us create a magazine we ’ re really proud of .
We wish them , and you , a very happy Christmas . Enjoy !
