Guided Tours
Winchester is one of the most beautiful cathedral cities in the
country. For centuries it was the capital of Saxon and Norman Kings of England and was the centre of King Alfred's Wessex.
Its past is preserved in its famous monuments: the Great Hall, housing what is traditionally known as the Round Table of King Arthur, Winchester College; St Cross and its medieval hospital; the city's West Gate and, pre-eminently, the cathedral where the famous Winchester illuminated Bible is displayed in the Library. During the weekend the Winchester Hat Fair will be entertaining crowds in the City Centre and the Art and Mind festival includes jazz and sufi musicians, a major new work by Sir John Tavener on Monday 6 July and much more.
