HIVE Directory: Hobbies Arts & Crafts Clubs

Our group aims to help alleviate loneliness and isolation for seniors (age 65+) who live on their own.

We are based at the CourtX tennis pavilion, on Eastern Parade. We now have opportunities seven days a week to get together, including coffee afternoons, lunches and suppers. We also arrange bus trips together to places of interest.

The Southsea Community Choir

Please see Facebook for more information

Established in 2007 by Janet Ayers, the choir now performs two concerts a year and Sing for Water Portsmouth, plus various busking performances locally, raising money for local and national charities.
We sing songs from all over the world, in lots of different languages, plus English, all unaccompanied in 4 part harmony. Songs to celebrate the passing of the seasons of nature and the seasons of life.
The choir is open to anyone who wants to sing, no audition and no experience necessary, just the willingness to jump in and have a go.
