Winchester - and Hares
Yesterday afternoon we arrived in Winchester. We had previously, in 2019, stopped for a brief lunch break on a rather damp day. There wasn’t enough time to explore this beautiful city so we planned a return stopover as we make our way South - and this time the weather was hot and sunny!

The collage shows the Holy Cross Hospital which we walked to via the Water Meadows, a view through the window of the City Mill and one of the numerous Hares discovered in various locations around the city. Each hare is a different design and colour and all will eventually be sold at auction to raise money for Southampton Children's Hospital.




“Hares of Hampshire took place in the great cities of Winchester and Southampton in the summer of 2022, brought to you by The Murray Parish Trust and Wild In Art.
For ten weeks, Winchester and Southampton streets, parks and public spaces were brought to life with an exhibition of magnificent hares. Each giant sculpture was individually designed and beautifully created, showcasing the wealth of artistic talent the county has to offer – while positively contributing to the economic, cultural and social life of the area.”
