A year that promised so much including the America’s Cup coming to town, yet another trip to Wembley for Pompey fans and of course the annual pilgrimage to Southsea Common for Victorious Festival.
However for the obvious reasons all of that has been put on hold.
So we decided to pull together a list of things to look forward to in the Portsmouth area in 2021 - touch wood.
1. Victorious Festival
We didn’t get to enjoy the annual celebration of all things music on Southsea Common over the August bank holiday. However it will be back in 2021. Photo: Vernon Nash
2. Fratton Park being packed with fans
The new football season has begun but fans are still not allowed into Fratton Park. Hopefully in 2021 we will be back to the ground being packed and in full voice week after week. With away trips back on the cards as well. Photo: Joe Pepler
3. Wickham Festival
The annual event will be back in style in 2021 after having to cancel the 2020 edition. Fans have dug deep to help ensure it will return next year by backing a crowdfunding campaign. Photo: Vernon Nash
4. Oktoberfest
Make sure you don’t misplace your lederhosen or your stein because Oktoberfest Portsmouth & Southsea will be back in 2021 after being postponed this year. In the past there have been Live Bavarian-style bands performing for the crowds. Photo: Chris Moorhouse
