Although all non-essential retail businesses are now temporarily closed across the country, for many of your favourite brands and shops you can still buy online for home delivery so why not indulge in a little virtual retail therapy, be it for fashion, gadgets, beauty or entertainment.
As well all the national retailers and big brands you’d normally find in the city centre, it’s worth checking if you can order online at your favourite independent store, for example W.J. French & Son for shoes or Vinilo for a new vinyl record release.
Please see the bottom of this article for a list of shops still open in the centre of Southampton.
Pubs, restaurants and cafes are currently all temporarily closed, with the exception of those offering takeaway collection or delivery options, in line with Government guidance. The likes of Roosters Piri Piri, Co-Sushi, The Black Phoenix, Docks Coffee and Neds Noodle Bar are currently operating a delivery service. Check food delivery services such as Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat for more places in Southampton that are still delivering.
Banana Wharf are running a ‘Community Stall’ which will be open outside the restaurant every day from 10am-2pm selling essentials for those in the community who need it as well as offering dishes from the restaurant to take away. For more information head to their Facebook page.
God’s House Tower – you can take a virtual tour of the new Exhibition ‘Those Who Look Out & Those Who Look Back’ by Laura Eldret & Paul Vivian here.
Get spooky from home, as the Southampton Ghost Tours are bringing the tours to you. Check their Facebook page and Youtube channel for live tours and videos!
If you love going to the theatre why not see what’s on later in the year at the Mayflower Theatre and book something to look forward to with your friends and family. Nuffield Southampton Theatres are currently suspending ticket sales but check their website for updates as to when tickets are available to purchase.
If you have an upcoming present to buy or simply want to treat yourself then why not buy a gift card/voucher either to spend online or to save for a future date?
Many eateries, spas and beauty salons offer gift cards as well as retailers, entertainment venues and experience/activity providers. Westquay sell gift cards which last 12 months and are valid in the vast majority of its stores. Buying a gift card is also a great way to support businesses in this difficult time.
