Community events across Southampton

Southampton: School fairs, for a school like Bevois Town Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast. Events in parks such as Rockstone Place Park need permission from the council or landowner for cooking and vehicles. In December, Southampton is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
