Rainy-day Winchester: indoor days out

Indoor options for wet Hampshire days, split by how you arrive: walk from the station and city car parks, or drive to your own parking because P&R will not help.

The practical answer

Wet weather does not have to end a Winchester day. The Theatre Royal and The Arc are both short walks down Jewry Street from the station and city car parks. Winchester Science Centre, Marwell Zoo, the Watercress Line and the Bar End leisure park need a car or planned bus — each has its own parking, and the details are on every listing.
