Not yet confirmed for 2026: check before you go

We could not find 2026 details for Waterlooville town centre, Cowplain, Purbrook, Widley or Denmead. Havant Borough Council's notice covers Havant, Hayling Island and Emsworth only. Denmead Parish Council's website points visitors to its events page and the parish clerk on 023 9224 7947 for dates. We also could not open the Portsmouth, Fareham or Petersfield 2026 notices, so we have not listed them. If your church, school, scout group or Royal British Legion branch runs a service, its own page is the one to trust.
