Hampshire Farmers' Markets
Farmers' markets are great places to buy fantastic ingredients, or just to go and soak up the atmosphere (and free samples). There are several markets in Hampshire, and the one held in Winchester on the last Sunday of each month is one of the biggest in the country. You may also find local breweries there (there are usually three at Winchester!).
