Hey all I work in Winchester (but don’t live there) I was wondering is there any free parking towards the town? As parking really adds up I currently do park and ride but would be great to find some free parking!

Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone, I'm a finalist for a job at the University of Southampton and looking at moving my wife, daughter and myself there if it works out (we're American and would be getting a visa sponsorship from the University).

We are most concerned about safety and quiet in looking for a place to live and we've seen that Winchester is highly regarded as a great place to live. Would it be reasonable to live in Winchester and commute to Southampton? Also, when looking for a place to rent/buy, is Zoopla the way to go? I've been looking there but am wondering if there's a different platform.

Thanks in advance!!

First time traveling outside the US, and I've decided to go to Winchester for 4 days in January. Anybody have any suggestions of what I should see or do while I'm there? I'm 41f, planning on staying at a pub.

I recently tried the wetherspoons breakfast here in Winchester and was kinda disappointed by it. It wasn't great. I was wondering if anyone knows any better spots near/ in the middle of town that isnt mcdonalds. I kinda want to maybe take a certain someone on a breakfast date at some point but want the place to be good, but not extremely expensive. They aren't from Winchester and I want to leave a good impression if the city, you know?

Might sound silly but just asking for advice

Hello all, I need to go to Reading next week, changing at Winchester. It looks like I need to get the 07:31 Cross Country service which gets me there for 08:09. Is the train usually rammed?

Hey folks,

Hi! I am a danish Fine Art student who just got accepted for a semester at Winchester school of Art and I am looking for someone who goes there that i can ask a few questions about the school🤞🏽🤞🏽🌝

Hello - I am writing a paper on the cathedral and have some questions.

Is the cathedral connected to other institutions nearby? And who technically owns the cathedral and associated spaces? maybe the bishop or diocese, or a different governing body perhaps?
The other thing I am confused about is the limits of its legal boundaries geographically so that I can discuss it as a site of heritage importance.
Thanks so much!!

I am a mum of one and I just got a new job at Winchester and planning to move there but prices of apartments there are really on the high for the ones I have been seeing online. I don’t want to go above £900 to £1k for a two bedroom. If you have an idea of how I can get something affordable, please let me know

Hi, I’ve been in Winchester for about 6 months now. It’s a beautiful place but it’s been really hard for me to integrate and I’ve been struggling. I’m seriously thinking about moving somewhere else. But before I do so, I’d like to get some advice from the lovely people of Reddit.

Generally, I find that people don’t seem to want to have a chat or get to know me/us. I’ve even had multiple instances where I’ve asked a question and the person has directed the answer to my husband. Additionally, people here don’t seem to say please/thank you when doors are held open for them or they’re given way. There are some positives, our neighbours are lovely!

I’ve never really had this issue before and I have lived in many different areas of the UK and other countries.

Can anyone recommend how I can overcome this and meet like-minded people?

(I am a 30 year old Indian women with no children/pets)

I’m a 22 year old girl from Canada living close to Winchester and I take care of an almost one year old M-F and would love to find some (or one!) nanny friends :) Or does anyone have ideas on where to look? Or any employers who may have a nanny that’s looking for a friend/play date for kids? Thanks!

Hi all, myself and a few friends are coming to Winchester in December, I’ve had a look on google/trip advisor but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for food?

Not looking for anything to fancy, the black boys menu looked quite up our street with the tacos and hotdogs but I’ve not need able to find out if that’s still available. Thanks in advance for any help!

I wanna treat someone to a Winchester hotel- what's best? Thanks! ♡

The fireworks for bonfire night are on tonight. I’ve been before and there is always a lot of people so I was thinking of going to somewhere else where I could still see them, ideally a pub or something. Anyone know of any good places to sit and have a drink in view of them?

Failing the pub idea, are there any viewpoints that might be nice to go where I could see them?

If you like solving puzzles, and dissolving pints. Maybe we've got the event for you? This is now our 5th monthly event.

Who's ready for some "classic games" themed puzzling!? Scrabble over to the link, to solve the location puzzle, or check out our Instagram page!

Hi Winchester! I was wondering if anyone in this group has an old picture of the pub The Mucky Duck from the 80s/90s - back when it was called The White Swan. Or if anyone knows anywhere I can find some pictures of it? Thanks!

Hi all - I'm considering moving to Winchester (budget 500k).

I've searched the sub about places to live and found a few posts with some good info on parts of Winchester but couldn't see much about the south-east area south of Arlesford Road.

I prefer older properties (but appreciate that limits me somewhat budget wise in Winchester) but there are a few smaller places around there that seem like they could be suitable so was just wondering what views were on the area. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of amenities at all though from a search and I haven't ventured past the Chesil street car park when I've visited.

thanks

Hi all

I have seen and ordered from Bangtan on Deliveroo but I don’t know where it is in Winchester, and nothing comes up on Google.

Does anyone know?

Thanks

Hi everyone!

I'm in the market for some quince - if anyone knows of any wild quince trees, or has one that's fruiting in their garden, I would love to know about it :)

Looking to join a run club to meet new people as just moved to the area (27M) or even open to suggestions for good gyms that offer classes with a good community feel.

Hey - are there any developers who are based in / near Winchester? I have a business idea that is in early stages and need a tech partner to take to the next level - plan is for app first and then will likely need web. Want to work with someone locally ideally, who might want to do this as a side project initially.

Moving to Winchester for university, want to continue training at the amateur level for mma, what would be the best gym to train in?

All the way up from Hilliers Haven (also a dump), along the gravel track all the way alongside Winnal Moors where the information board is. It's a mess, little more than a silt filled ditch when this is supposed to be a chalk stream, a valuable habitat for countless species.

Is anyone bothered?

My car is coming up to 12k miles, any recommendations for a place to take it for a service? Thanks.
