Shop Local Southampton Listings 27 December 2023 2023-12-27, Chris
So, after 7 years of mostly weekly posting (since December 2016, with a predicted 350 posts and 35,000 events featured) we've reached the end of 2023 and the end of the listings as written by Chris in their current form. We'll be announcing future exciting plans in 2024 so watch this space! For now, enjoy your mostly-a-list-of-New-Years-parties list of events happening in Southampton this week!
Our friends The Asylum at Voice FM (103.9FM in Southampton, Shop Local Southampton Radio Player around the world), also celebrate their last show tonight Wednesday 27 December from 2100-2300 so do tune in.
Thanks for your support and love over the years - if they helped you find about even one gig that you went on to love, then they succeeded in their goal.
Shop Local Southampton will of course continue and thrive, it's just my weekly listings that are stopping.
Due to the holidays please check with venues that regular events are running even if they're listed below.Photo: A look back at some of our cover photos over the years.
