This is such a lovely small & intimate theatre. Go to the Green Room first for a lovely cuppa, enjoy the show, have a tub of New Forest ice cream in the interval & leave at the end of the show thinking "that was a great evening"...

4. Romsey Signal Box
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 33 reviews
Romsey Signal Box is a building from around 1865 and a working museum which gives an insight into the life of a railway signalman and railway signalling in general. Visitors of all ages can get a hands on experience by operating points, clearing signals and ringing bells to control a simulation of trains passing through Romsey. As well as the main attraction, the site has a visitor center containing artifacts and photographs and a cafe serving drinks and light refreshments. Disabled access is possible and although the operating floor is step access only we have installed a CCTV link to allow anyone to view the inside of the signal box from the ground floor visitor center.

This is a fascinating place run by friendly, knowledgeable staff. The demos in the signal box itself were truly enlightening and I felt I properly understood our railway history from these. Well worth a visit, I’d say.

Visiting romsey town today I was delighted to see the south central makers market was back in full swing. After what has been a bleak year, 2020, I was happy to see something lovely, with amazing crafters. Romsey town council must be very proud to have such a market, which also keeps the coffee shops and other shops busy to. Well done Romsey, a lovely town well worth visiting.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Norman Abbey — home to a thriving Christian congregation. With a lofty nave and round Norman arches, Romsey Abbey is one of the most imposing churches in Southern England. It’s home to a number of treasures, including two Saxon roods, a 16th-century reredos (a screen displayed behind an altar) and the tomb of the Lord Mountbatten of Burma, great-uncle of Prince Charles.

The Abbey is located in the centre of Romsey and dominates the skyline. Built in Saxon times, of its type it is one of the oldest in the UK. Very few people inside and the sense of silence is overwhelming. The tomb of Earl Mountbatten of Burma, who lived nearby at Broadlands is held within the abbey and points a different way to all other tombstones in the Abbey. It points towards the sea, because his wife was buried at sea. His Indian Standards are hung in the nave. The surrounding grounds are well used by people relaxing, having lunch and taking in the Abbey views.

Tucked away in a tiny street, near Romsey Abby is Kings John's House, an amazing building dating back to the 13th century. Reputedly built for King John, this building shows the many alterations and changes of use that have taken place up to the early 20th century. We found this an absolutely fascinating building, if you are very lucky, the centre's manager may give a guided tour, one of the best we have ever experienced. If you like English history, this is a must! MG, Harrow

What a fantastic pub with a friendly knowledgeable landlord. There is always something interesting to drink and new things to try. Whether you are in to IPA, sour, stouts, pilsner or cider there is a quality range to chose from. They have recently started to do street food such as dirty fries, wings and mac and cheese balls. All delicious and at a reasonable price. Sometimes they have a food truck on a Friday night. There is a board games night on Tuesdays with some friendly people playing cool games. The first Thursday of each month there is a music quiz. Most Fridays will see a live band ranging from acoustic, to blues to rock and roll. There is also the occasional soul and funk DJ set. When there isn't a band on,you will hear great music and probably the locals singing. There is also a cute dog. She's lovely. No where else in Romsey can provide all of the above. Band photo (Davey Jones Locker) by Stuart Webster Photography. I would have taken a picture of the food but it was too delicious to wait so I just ate it. I tried all of it. Its delicious.
