From 1 – 30 September visitors can enjoy exclusive offers and unmissable events while being immersed in centuries-old history as part of ‘Love The Old Town’ campaign, organised by the city’s Business Improvement District, GO! Southampton.
Home to Southampton’s medieval city walls and waterfront, the Old Town has a vibrant mix of independent restaurants, global cuisines, live music venues, arts and culture, and centuries of heritage.

Plus many more.
Love the Old Town will also include major city events, including Music in the City (12 September), Heritage Open Days (11 – 20 September) and the International Boat Show (18 – 27 September).
While visitors may want to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city’s bars and restaurants, Southampton is also proud to host Green Flag awarded parks, noted for their accessibility and high standards of quality and maintenance and Purple Flag for it’s night-time economy.
A brand-new Old Town guide will also be available at key city hotspots and attractions, making it easy for visitors to plan a day exploring the area. See the digital version here.
Stephen Manion, Executive Director at GO! Southampton, said: “We’re so pleased to see the return of the Old Town campaigns. Venues have reported a huge increase in footfall to several vibrant hotspots around the city with previous campaigns, as residents and visitors enjoy spending more time here.”
Daniel Crow of Gods House Tower said: “We’re so lucky to live and work in such a fantastic city with a beautiful medieval old town at its heart. Being surrounded by our history is a great reminder that the Old Town is here for us all to enjoy and the Love The Old Town campaign gives the public an opportunity to explore this remarkable part of the city and grab a bargain at many of its venues.”
