Romsey Festival 2021
During the Festival Romsey Local History Society has prepared an exhibition on the history of 'Shops and Shopkeepers' in and around Romsey Market Place. There are 35 posters which will be displayed in shop windows or inside shops. Please look and find as many as you can.
If you wish, you can download a
"Short Quiz" (just for fun) which can be answered by using the information on the posters. Quiz sheets and further information can also be obtained from the Visitors Information Centre in Church Street.
