FROM the family-friendly festival that fashion forgot to a celebration dedicated to the honey bee, there's something for everyone in Hampshire this weekend.
Here's our pick of five of the best family friendly things to do nearby.
Let's Rock Southampton...
Dust off your neon lycra and spandex and get ready to party as Let's Rock takes over Southampton Common once again.
The event offers gloriously unpretentious non-stop fun, with legendary musicians performing hit after hit to a crowd of all ages, many in their finest 80s fashion.
The Southampton edition will be headlined by Soft Cell and The Boomtown Rats with a special appearance from Kim Wilde.
Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats), Neville Staple, Heaven 17, The Farm, Go West, Heatwave, Sinitta and more will make up the remainder of the line-up.
The family-friendly festival can also be enjoyed by children, with free activities such as an interactive circus, face painting and inflatables.
Beggars Fair...
A huge celebration of music, dance and street entertainment is set to take place in Romsey this weekend.
Beggars Fair is back on Saturday for a day of free family fun.
Local musicians will be taking over the streets and venues of Romsey all day.
The volunteer-led festival will host a wide range of entertainment, from big bands to intimate acoustic music, and colourful dance displays.
There’s everything from jazz to folk to classical with some great choirs in action.
Thanks to the support of the local people, it has grown to be Romsey’s largest event.
