Victorious Festival is one of the highlights of the local events calendar, but with thousands of festivalgoers heading to Southsea each year, the crowds and increased traffic can make the bank holiday weekend feel a little hectic — particularly for families who aren’t attending.
Taking place in Southsea on August 28, 29 and 30, the festival is expected to attract large numbers of visitors to the city. But, if you’re looking for a quieter way to spend the bank holiday, there are plenty of family-friendly alternatives to enjoy away from the festival crowds.
Take a look at things to do this weekend:
