Today
Make the bus part of your day out this October half term! Here are some activities happening in the local area during the school holidays, all accessible by bus.
Single fares are just £3 and up to 2 kids under 5 travel for free. Our dayriders offer great value too if you're making several trips within the same day.
Spooky Winch Halloween Trail
Take part in a city-wide Halloween-themed trail in Winchester. Use the map to hunt the letters to make a spooky word, then return your completed trail sheet to collect a Halloween-themed treat and be entered into a prize draw to win a Halloween-inspired hamper.
Hop on the Bluestar One which runs up to every 10 minutes between Southampton and Winchester.
Witches' Potion Trail at Royal Victoria Country Park
Follow this self-guided trail to find all the magical ingredients needed to make a powerful protection potion. Can you collect them all in order to receive your prize?
The Bluestar 15 can drop you a 5 minute walk from the entrance to the park if you get off at the New Road stop by the co-op.
West Quay on Ice is back in time for half term!
Head to the esplanade, put on your skates and glide across the rink set against the backdrop of the city’s historic town walls - a truly magical experience for the whole family.
Get on any bus serving Southampton City Centre to arrive a short walk away from the rink.
Half Term Activities at Southampton Museums and Art Gallery
Over half-term, SeaCity Museum, Tudor House & Garden and Southampton City Art Gallery host a range of hands-on workshops designed to spark creativity and curiosity.
All locations are city centre based so just a short walk away from the bus stop!
