The Villagers

Swan Samba is a Hampshire-based samba fusion drumming and movement band, proudly affiliated with Roynon Performing Arts since 2019. Our core aim is to provide accessible, enjoyable drumming experiences while supporting community wellbeing, fitness, cultural connections and musical understanding. Swan Samba have performed at events across the south including Wickham Festival, Winchester Hat Fair, Andover Carnival, Winchester Bonfire Procession and Eastleigh Mela as well as numerous appearances on TV and radio. We deliver workshops across a range of schools, community organisations and corporate retreats and welcome all enquiries!

Sage and Salt Studio is a vibrant art gallery in the heart of Petersfield, showcasing nature-inspired work by over 70 local artisans. Alongside our gallery, we offer a dedicated studio space that hosts a regular programme of art and craft workshops led by local artists. We also feature The Craft Pantry which is a unique, self-guided creative experience where visitors can book a two-hour session and choose from a selection of materials to explore a craft at their own pace.

Winchester Print Fair is an annual event running in May. We support predominantly local artists (within Hampshire), joined by well-known printmakers from across the UK. We are looking to raise the profile of handmade creative arts and crafts, with all printmakers producing their prints by hand in their own studios or shared spaces. We also welcome suppliers and supporters of print to encourage those just starting their journey in print. We are now a two day event, with 25 stalls in the Nutshell in Kings Walk, Winchester.
