Winchester Magazine Wi******er Magazine is a free quality lifestyle title with content entirely dedicated to the city.

Wi******er Magazine was set up in January 2015 as the first free quality magazine with content entirely dedicated to the city. All of our editorial is about Wi******er - from its inspirational locals to its movers and shakers in business, the arts, music and sport. The full colour B5 magazine offers reviews of the city's best restaurants and bars, coverage of music and arts events and dedicated sections on independent schools, homes and interiors and health and wellbeing. Every issue there are also interviews with prominent Wi******er movers and shakers. Unlike other regional glossy magazines and newspapers, Wi******er Magazine focuses entirely on the city, reaching out to an AB1 audience. Wi******er Magazine has a print run of 8,500 copies and three issues a year:

Spring published in March

Summer published in July

Winter published in November

Meet Andy and his onions.

Andy leads the gardening side of Boaz Project Hampshire which supports people with learning disabilities.

The fruit and veg it grows goes into food for its members and is made into jam that is sold to boost its coffers.

Not only is Andy a much loved part of the team but his onions were awarded ‘Best In Show” at Saturday’s Littleton and Harestock Show.

But that’s not all. This gardening guru was also awarded first place for his beetroot, carrots, large tomatoes, runner beans, aubergines, capsicums, the longest runner bean, largest pumpkin and the heaviest marrow!

What an achievement!

Lovely to see the always smiley Jacob Hodgkiss out busking today. He’s a local face who has just auditioned for Britain's Got Talent and we’re hoping he gets a call-back. If he does, he’ll be following in the footsteps of local legend Rafferty Coope who has spent the summer starring in London’s West End.

Roll up! Roll up!

Today's the day for the Littleton and Harestock Show.

You'll find all the action at Littleton Recreation Ground until 5pm and there's flowers, crafts and lots of local produce, a dog gymkhana, games and stalls, live music and rides galore.

The lovely people at Friends of King Alfred Buses are even running free vintage buses from Harestock to the fair.

See you there!

Summer might feel on the way out but we’ve just discovered some really good sunshine food at Wi******er Orangery where the tapas is seriously good.

We’re talking super-fresh ingredients - many of them local, vibrant colourful plates full of flavour and a really tight team with Liam cooking with flair in the kitchen, Ed and Sofia out front and a team of attentive staff.

Add to that cocktails served with panache, a decent w**e list and indoor and outdoor seating and you’ve got something very good indeed.

Post Office staff across the city do so much more than take parcels. They’re brilliant for lots of little things too and great community hubs. We’re lucky that we have so many of them like this one at Kingsworthy Premier Stores.

You know when you think you might be going down with something but it’s at the tickly throat stage?

Well we’ve recently discovered Fine Fettle’s immune-boosting Elderberry Syrup, made by Georgie from locally foraged berries and so delicious you’ll want to pour it over ice-cream. 

Pick up a bottle at West Lea Farm Shop or visit: www.hampshirefare.co.uk/member/fine-fettle/

We’ve just been for our first breast screen and met the lovely Gemma.

Screens are offered to women aged 50 up their 71st birthday. Everyone registered with a GP gets an invitation to be screened automatically.

What isn’t right though is that although we’ve got top equipment to do the screens in a special unit in Tesco, Winnall’s car park, many women simply don’t show up to the appointments.

That means other women are waiting longer for screens. And it’s a waste of NHS time and money too.

Do get your screen done. Early detection of breast cancer is so important and we’ve got great local cancer specialists.

Hampshire Open Studios’ last day is tomorrow and is a great way to meet local artists in their studios, workrooms and homes and buy original art, prints and cards that you simply won’t find anywhere else. We popped in to see two of our absolute favourite Wi******er artists, Emma Lowres Art and Illustration by Jonathan who are both open on Bank Holiday Monday.

Here’s a lovely gesture from our Nepalese friends at Porterhouse Steakhouse. Donate the price of your dessert or enjoy one and the restaurant will donate £2 to the British Red Cross supporting people in crisis in Nepal.
