Eastleigh is in Hampshire, England, and the main town in the Borough of Eastleigh. The town lies between Southampton and Winchester, and is part of the South Hampshire conurbation. The first substantial growth was as a railway town. Now it is home to many businesses, including a manufacturing plant owned by Prysmian Cables & Systems (formerly the cables division of Pirelli). The town lies on the River Itchen, one of England's premier chalk streams for fly fishing, a designated site of Special Scientific Interest.

This place should also be known as "The Best kept secret in Winchester!" The food and the staff are all outstanding. Victoria was awesome!! She was attentive, polite and professional throughout. We ordered a coffee and a panini for lunch which was made fresh and just as I ordered it. Afterwards we enjoyed one of the extensive selection of cakes which was excellent. All staff were very good with keeping ‘covid compliant’ throughout. We didn’t use the craft shop which adjoins the cafe however I did have a look and was very impressed with what I saw. The children looked like they were having a great time and next time I’m in town, I will be bring them here to enjoy making some of the crafts in the run up to Christmas. I would definitely recommend coming here. We went to the BellaCrafts in Winchester but couldn't find it on Trip Advisor so have posted it on the Fair Oak site.

The room was great fun with lots of interesting gadgets so that was interesting. They were able to put in an addition slot to accommodate our group and assist with our possessions left behind. My 5 and 6 year olds were able to join in too!

Team Sport Southampton Don’t hold back when racing around TeamSport Eastleigh’s 400-metre incredibly wide track, providing ample overtaking opportunities. The magnificent exit corner from the bridge allows speeds of up to 40mph down the Hanger straight before the Dunlop curve, a high-speed double apex corner with a tight entry and wide exit providing a test of determination and skill. Two exciting hairpins running in opposite directions are the last obstacles before its time to get back on the accelerator giving it full throttle over the flyover!

Amazing time, so much fun. We are super competitive and lap times were given so it was great get the results. The staff member Ash was brilliant. So friendly, welcoming and gave good advice. She gave us na extra session half price. And I got a medal for heating my partner which made me even happier to gloat! Hahah Great experience, well worth it!

Me and my wife took our 6 year old to go watch the Tiger they came to tea the other day and it was great. He loved it and we enjoyed it as well so all good there. We sat in H13 - H15 and we were right in the middle pretty much so really good seats so would highly recommend the seats around that area, staff came round with pillows for smaller children too which was a nice touch. My tip would be to just do print at home when you buy your tickets and then you can load up the PDF on your phone. Saves you queuing at the box office and also means you don’t have to print them out, we walked straight in basically showing my phone to the very nice attendant. Drinks from the bar were very reasonable, a diet coke, water & fruit shoot came to just over £5. That could’ve easily been about £8 there so nice to see that. I’d definitely go back here, £14 for the ticket but it’s a great attraction. Well worth it.
7. The Race Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 24 reviews
We began our journey over 10 years ago as the first race car simulation venue in the UK and have since gone to become the first chain of simulation venues with our sister venue in Halifax. Each of our ten race pod simulators has it's own 2.8m HD screen, allowing each driver to become completely immersed in the experience whilst racing around world famous circuits. The Race Centre provides an amazing modern alternative to karting making it ideal for Corporate Events, Stag Parties, Kids Parties, Private Groups and Birthdays, as well as for individual racing practice.

Sitting as near as damn-it on the floor in a race-type cockpit staring into a large screen, plus steering wheel feedback and engine sound coming through the headphones made for a GREAT time. The guys at the centre were also helpful, pleasant to talk to and shared some laughs. For first time visitors, the centre is 'unusually' located within a 1970's type shopping precinct, with parking located around the outside of the complex which has a 2 hour maximum stay period. I found it full up when I arrived (on a Friday afternoon), so parked within the Industrial Estate area up the road near to the railway station and walked for a few minutes to the centre.

Picked this pub/restaurant out of the blue as it was close to where we were staying. Booked on the day and were welcomed by a lovely atmosphere. The food was beautiful and plentiful. Myself and husband had sea bass which was really well cooked, my daughter had chicken goujons. For dessert it was sticky toffee pudding and ‘the best pudding ever’ chocolate brownie with ice cream. This place is a gem!
