Things To Do

Whilst living in your student accommodation in Southampton, you can enjoy the wealth of events this city has to offer. From sports to shopping and fun activities to do, why not check out our quick round up below?

Sport

Even if you’re not a football fan, it is difficult to escape the fact that Southampton Football Club is a huge deal in the city. It’s worth a visit to experience St Mary’s Stadium, where the premier league is played every week. If you are a student aged between 18-21 you can access some cut-price tickets starting at just £20. This is an incredible price to see top-flight professional football in this country!

For the cricket lovers, The Ageas Bowl is the venue you want to go to. You can grab tickets to see some of the top teams in the world play here, so don’t miss out if you’re looking for a relaxing day in the sunshine!

Living on the south coast means that you’re a stone’s throw away from some amazing countryside and coastal walks. Cycling and hiking routes can be found in abundance, as can plenty of watersports at Southampton Water Activities Centre. Some of our fave activities include Sailing, Powerboating, Windsurfing and Boardsports.

Shopping

If you’re looking for a bit of retail therapy whilst studying in Southampton, don’t worry – Westquay Shopping Centre is the place for you! This modern building is absolutely massive and is home to an abundance of shops and dining areas for you to enjoy. Whether you’re driving, walking, cycling or using public transport, getting to Westquay couldn’t be easier, especially with how close it is to our student accommodation in Southampton!

Theatre

Who doesn’t love the theatre? Especially after a busy day of uni, there’s nothing better than relaxing in front of a real stage production rather than the TV! When studying here, you need to visit the Mayflower. You can experience touring West End musicals, dance, comedy, live music, opera and plays. The venue itself is magnificent! So expect performances to match this majestic arena.
