History Trail Guided Walk for Children
Bishopstoke Community Centre (BCA), Bishopstoke, SO50 6DJ
Saturday 19th September 2026
Explore Bishopstoke’s rich history through the people, places and stories that shaped the village, from Titanic survivors and Royal visits to childhood life in the local community.
Step back in time on a short family-friendly walk exploring Bishopstoke’s fascinating past. Discover what life was like for children in the village years ago, hear about Bishopstoke’s links to the Titanic, find out which Royals visited the area, and learn about the grand houses that once stood locally. The walk will also share the story of how fish from the River Itchen travelled as far as Australia and New Zealand.
Designed especially for children, this gentle walk will last around 30 minutes starting at Bishopstoke Community Centre and finishing at Glebe Meadow. All children must be accompanied by an adult and remain the responsibility of their accompanying adult throughout the event.
Bookings open on the 25th August at 9am for Friends of Hampshire History Trust. General booking opens on 27th August at 9am. To become a Friend of HHT and gain early access, please visit: https://hampshirehistorytrust.com/donations/
