On Bonfire Night head to Mayflower Park where the city puts on a specular display of fireworks over Southampton water.

In September the city plays host to the Southampton Boat Show. This internationally renowned event attracts thousands of visitors from across the globe to admire and purchase the latest super yachts, sailing boats and maritime equipment. The event offers a number of family activities and taster sessions for SUP, kayaking, sailing and other water-based activities.

At Christmas step into a winter wonderland when the city centre and high street comes alive with a German inspired Christmas market and festive ice rink.

The whole outside display area(s) at The Brickworks Museum will again be bulging with steam exhibits including resident and visiting full size traction engines, scaled miniature engines, stationary power plants, fairground organs etc. right down to table top steam model displays.

The very popular traction engine trailer rides will run all day and it is hoped that the tractor/trailer rides 'trialled' at the October open day will also be run, having proved so popular.
