What a fantastic day at the Art Gallery for the first Heritage Fair in five years! It was wonderful to see so many groups representing the heart of Southampton — all keen to share what makes our city such a special place, rich in history and culture.  It was lovely catching up with old friends and hearing their news. With around 27 groups taking part, there was so much to see and enjoy!  A big thank you to the Southampton Heritage Network and the Art Gallery for putting together such a great event.  And of course, a huge THANK YOU to everyone from FoSOC who stayed and helped at the stall — Mary Gardiner, Sue & Reg Ballard, Helen Dean, Ashleigh Rayner, and Geoff Watts. You made the day even better!
