Ball - Where to stay

Saturday 28th September 2024

Winchester, Hampshire

An unspoilt cathedral city on the edge of the rolling South Downs National Park, Winchester is England's ancient capital and former seat of King Alfred the Great. Today, Winchester combines the best of city life with the freshness of the surrounding countryside.

Home of good food and the country's largest farmers' market, home of the ‘Round Table’, resting place of author Jane Austen and inspiration to the many craft-makers and artists who live here, Winchester is truly a destination for all seasons.
