Highlights include:
Dickens 2012, a city-wide festival that will include the opening of a new exhibition ‘A Tale of One City’ at the City Museum, events around Dickens’ birthday in February and a Dickensian theme for both Portsmouth Festivities and theVictorian Festival of Christmas.
The 30th Anniversary of the Falklands Conflict, more details to follow and the Portsmouth Festival of Food which takes place in the summer and brings Food Festivals to Southsea, Port Solent and Gunwharf Quays showcasing top fare from farmers and food retailers around the region plus demonstrations from local restaurants.
