Spring is really kicking off in Southampton – with our parks looking great in bloom. As usual there’s a wide variety of music happening in the city, this week including a bucket load of rock from overseas. If you’re feeling up for it, why not celebrate May Day the traditional style with some sunrise morris dancing? Who says Southampton isn’t eclectic.
