Trip to Winchester Christmas Market by the theatre group and U3A friends

Thanks to Kit Davies we had a great day out by coach to the Christmas market at Winchester Cathedral. Assembling early to be picked up by coach in both Beckenham and Bromley we were transported to Winchester via the motorways. The traffic was busy both ways and particularly on the M25 coming back in the rush hour, but an enjoyable day was had exploring the old city with both a street market as well as the Christmas market inside the cathedral grounds. Some went into the cathedral and found Jane Austen’s tomb as well as the site of St Swithin’s Shrine. When I was inside there was a Christmas concert taking place with children from local schools which really added to the atmosphere. Lots of mums and dads watching! Plenty of time during the day for lunch and an afternoon cup of tea or glass of mulled wine if preferred before making our way back to the coach for the journey home. Everyone was on time back to the coach so really helpful. A good way to start December and thanks again to Kit!
