City Space at Winchester Discovery Centre

A trip to Winchester Discovery Centre provides an opportunity to share in the history and culture of England's ancient capital.

A specially-designed exhibition area on the ground floor featuring a changing programme of exhibitions, ranging from displays drawn from the vast collections held by Winchester City Council's museums service to installations by some of our talented local artists. Every exhibition is brought to life by a range of talks, workshops and other activities such as object-handling sessions, with opportunities to explore new hobbies and interests or simply to lose yourself in another era.

With a special emphasis on families during the school holidays, the programme includes opportunities for everyone to participate, and to celebrate the special quality of the city and its surrounding towns and countryside.

Making Merry

Saturday 22 November – Sunday 4 January 2009

City Space will be transformed into an artist's studio where visitors will be able to see a variety of work hand made by local artists and craftspeople; with most of the items available for purchase.

Exhibitions include a range of workshops, talks and other supporting events.
