Welcome to Havant At Home
The event called – Havant At Home – was put on by The Spring Arts and Heritage Centre following a £10,000 grant from the Big Lottery Fund.
A stirring aerial circus show from Hikapee Theatre was the centrepiece of the day’s action with the performers exploring the concept of ‘home’ through rousing performances.

Organiser Jemma Corbin added: ‘When we got the funding, we thought it would be great to celebrate Havant.
‘One of the big things that I see in the town is how diverse it is and we wanted to celebrate that. There’s so much going on here and today is about giving people the chance to explore their town more.’
Ward councillor Jackie Branson donated £200 for the event from her councillor allowance.
