Shop Local Southampton Listings 10 January 2023

In the week that Wild Front are playing their last gigs in Southampton – or indeed anywhere – for the foreseeable future, Southampton’s warming up for a new year of entertainment. There’s Halo-inspired deathcore from the US, a local sax and harmonica duo, blues, punk, an experimental ensemble at Arches Studios, and Lego and Steampunk meetups. It’s vitally important that we support local whenever we can especially at a time where every penny counts, both for ourselves and our favourite businesses and artists. Thanks for continuing to share the word about Shop Local Southampton and all the great events happening in our vibrant city.

Jack Whitehall’s in town and he’s brought his family. There’s loads of DJ nights on Saturday, with Soul 45 offering up soul, The Hill bringing the rave, Tribal Drum Syndicate handling the DnB and a Reggae Roots Dance at The Alexandra. Elsewhere, there’s the Southampton Ukulele Jam Christmas Cabaret at The 1865, and Baga Chipz is at The Engine Rooms with Tanya Hyde for a drag interpretation of Abba. On Thursday night, conscious rapper Amy Be launches her first EP at Whiskey Blue. Whatever you get up to, have a great week Southampton!

Supporting Local Business on a Budget

In these economically difficult times, we have limited resources to spend. By choosing to spend our money locally this Christmas and into the New Year we keep our pounds within Southampton, support local people and ensure that our favourite local businesses are still there for us in better times.

With Christmas coming up, a small thoughtful present from a local business could mean so much to the makers / sellers, as well as to the receiver. We don’t need so spend lots of money to show lots of love.

International Foods
You can also find loose bunches of coriander, parsley etc in much larger portions than the supermarket, without the packaging, and for a cheaper price. And you’re supporting a local business. Triple win!

International Foods and all independent Middle Eastern and Asian supermarkets also sell spices in much more useful sizes than the normal supermarket pots.

Easy Tz Meals
Looking for great quality local ready-made meals? Look no further than Easy Tz Meals. Founded by Board in the City’s Tia during the lockdown, Easy Tz focusses on creating delicious, nutritious and affordable meals using surplus food wherever possible. Vegan and meat Christmas meals are still available for just £4.50 each, but be quick as orders need to be in by Monday 12 December. Weekly meals resume in the new year. For more information and to order, see Easy Tz Meals.

Southampton City Art Gallery
What’s cheaper than cheap? Free, of course. And the council-run City Art Gallery is a jewel in our cultural crown that can be enjoyed entirely for free. If you haven’t been recently it’s worth a trip, as the exhibitions change regularly. Nearby John Hansard Gallery is also free.

If you wish to support the gallery, donations are accepted and there is a small shop of topical gifts. The gallery also hosts makers fairs from time to time.

Bitterne Park Stores
Bitterne Park Stores is a a refillable package-free paradise, as well as stocking great local fresh bread, beer, grocery supplies and treats. On a budget, not many vegetables go further than a red cabbage – they can be used for coleslaw, as a side to a roast, and as a base for stews – I got 7 generous portions out of one cabbage! From the refillable food I really like the crystallised ginger and dates.

Refills are great value, with environmentally friendly washing liquid working out cheaper per ml than big brand washing liquids on offer in major supermarkets. I also enjoy the convenience of filling up a 5 litre container and not having to think about washing liquid for a long time.

Local Takeaways
Takeaways don’t have to break the bank either, for example:
– A delicious loaded falafel wrap from Shawarma Express in Portswood is just £5.95.
– A pita with gyros souvlaki or halloumi from Sula’s is just £6.50
– Burritos at Mexigo start at £6.75
– A chicken or paneer tikka sizzler at 5 Rivers is £8.45
– A Margherita pizza at It’s a Pizza Thing is £8

Buy direct to avoid 1/3 commissions paid to the large companies either by them, you, or often both of you.

I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface here. It’s such an important time for to support each other, and choosing to go to a locally owned café or pub, or buying a ticket to a gig, can make all the difference right now. Things are so tight that such a decision is essentially a vote to keep them in business.

We are lucky in Southampton to have such a wealth and diversity of shopping, food, drink. Looking to the generosity of a lot of local businesses during Covid (not exactly a walk in the park for themselves) – for example the free meals Shelina from Lakaz Maman prepared for children during school holidays – shows that they’re a core part of our community.

Got any money saving tips that also help local business? Post on our Facebook or Twitter threads.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for supporting local this Christmas!

Shop Local Southampton Listings 29 November – 5 December

As we enter December it’s impossible to ignore that we’re now well and truly into the run up to Christmas. Luckily, Southampton is looking sparkly and has all the Christmas treats to keep you warm and happy. The Dub Pistols are bringing the bouncing vibes to The Brook, Soul 45’s Motown Christmas party is at Belgium and Blues, and Suburbia continues its reputation for fitting ridiculous acts in a small space with Hed PE. Sunday’s Creative Unity Concert with classical Indian music at Turner Sims should be rather special, and there’s plenty else from jungle to local music jams to an acoustic rave duo. As always, thanks for supporting local business, and enjoy!

Bargate Square in flux as its setting changes, with Christmas light switch-on festivities

Listening to the artists playing in Southampton this week demonstrates how diverse and rich our cultural offering is. I’d like to highlight Turner Sims, who consistently attract some of world music’s biggest stars to this city – this week featuring South African jazz legend Nduduzo Makhathini and Malian super group Habib Koité & Bamada. The Art House are also adept at picking some real treats, this week including Tuppenny Bunters with a unique vintage sound that went down a storm at Edinburgh Fringe. Focus are back, the Welsh National Opera is in town, the music of Hans Zimmer and John Williams will fill the Central Hall, and 100s more. Enjoy!
