Southsea Lifestyle – Free Magazine for Southsea, Old Portsmouth, Eastney & Gunwharf Quays

April / May 2025

I always used to say that summer was my favourite season, but as I grow older, I have come to appreciate spring even more. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the worries of the world, but going for early morning walks on bright, crisp days and witnessing the blossom emerge as everything shifts from grey to green helps to ease some of those concerns.

In this issue, we explore the benefits of getting outdoors. The Friends of Southsea Rock Gardens share the physical and mental health advantages of volunteering in the gardens (p. 46). Cycle World encourages us to enjoy the outdoors on our bikes (p. 30), and Charlotte Griffiths discusses why Southsea feels like home to her (p. 48).

There’s so much more to discover in this edition – classes to take, events to attend, and much more. Have a lovely spring!
