Located on Hampshire’s south coast is the city of Southampton, best known for its busy port and as the UK’s cruise capital. Southampton is also one of the south coasts best shopping destinations; it is home to top theatres attracting West End shows and big name comedians, there are a number of fascinating museums and art galleries, you’ll be spoilt for choice with top places to eat and you’ll find a jam packed programme of big events. 

It’s raining, it’s pouring, but rain doesn’t have to stop play here in Hampshire. Step inside history, travel to outer space, or get active undercover: there are plenty of indoor places to go for a rainy day out in Hampshire – here are five of our faves.
