Five fun things to do in and around Southampton this weekend
Live music, festivals, sporting events and more take place on Saturday and Sunday (June 29 and 30). Here’s our pick of five of the best…
In Guildhall Square…
British indie rockers Kaiser Chiefs are renowned for their captivating live performances, armed with an extensive back-catalogue of stadium belters, an infectious energy and unmistakable presence of frontman, Ricky Wilson.
Expect bangers like Ruby, I Predict a Riot and Oh My God.
At St Mary’s Stadium…
England’s next Euro 2024 game is set to be shown on big screens at St Mary’s.
The home of Southampton Football Club will be showcasing the Three Lions’ Euros campaign with two “massive screens” and next up in Slovakia on Sunday at pm in the last 16.
Gareth Southgate’s side topped Group C despite recording underwhelming draws against Denmark and Slovenia after winning their opener against Serbia.
Alongside local musicians, the festival will feature award-winning Neo-Jazz singer-songwriter Ni Maxine in a double-bill with Tomorrow’s Warriors Frontline. The effervescent and playful Penguin Cafe headline Saturday night, and Orchestra of the Swan close the weekend with an extraordinary multi-media performance featuring Folk singer Jackie Oates.
At Mayflower Theatre…
Following their critically acclaimed debut tour, Nadiya and Kai invite you into their world and go behind the scenes to witness how the magic comes together in their brand-new show Behind the Magic, with the tour drawing to a close at Kai’s home city on Sunday.
From TV shows to commercial campaigns, photoshoots to live touring shows, they will be taking you behind the lens to see things from a different perspective.
Nadiya, Kai and their talented cast will highlight the influence of some of the 20th century’s greatest legends, creatives and artists alike, whose lasting impact is still felt today.
Fabulous outfits, wonderful music and of course, sensational dancing!
At Mottisfont…
The walled garden will be filled with fragrance and colour from thousands of roses at The National Trust property, home to the National Collection of pre-1900 old-fashioned roses, which reach their peak in June.
Unlike modern species, old-fashioned roses tend to flower just once a year, so their blooming season is an extraordinary annual sight, attracting thousands of visitors.
