Upcoming Events
During Spring, Summer and Autumn there will be at least one heritage event and one wildlife event each month, however, they are subject to a FoSOC volunteer guide being available. In addition, our conservation work continues throughout the year.
Booking is advisable for all the talks and walks to avoid disappointment, numbers are now limited, maximum 25 persons per walk.
Do please be aware of the weather, sturdy clothes for the cold and wet and at all times suitable footwear and plenty of water for when it’s HOT!
All walks last approximately 90 minutes but the Titanic walks are longer due to the amount of graves visited.
These walks are free a donation is both recommended and very much welcome.
All the walks are approved by Southampton City Council (SCC) and will be subject to the UK Guidelines.
Please note due to unforeseen circumstances walks/events can be cancelled or postponed.
