Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Niton

10 picks around Niton, from 6 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Niton

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Niton, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

Shoes Exhibition - Gosport5

Shoes Exhibition - Gosport

at Gosport Museum and Art Gallery

Throughout history and across the globe, shoes have been a crucial part of people's wardrobes. Evidence of sandals more than 7000 years old have been found in central Missouri, and the oldest known leather shoe has been radiocarbon dated to about 3500 BCE. Since then, shoes have played an intriguing role in our social history and modern lives.
