I have been a client of Su’s for 14years and have witnessed both her personal and professional development at first hand. Su obviously loves her work. She carries out extensive research into all the services she offers. Her facials include radio frequency face lifting. You come away feeling amazing! I have also had micro needling and plasma skin tightening. The plasma treatment does involve some ‘down time’ but Su is completely up front about this and offers superb aftercare. In short I could not live without her! As well as being a skilled therapist Su is a lovely calm individual who makes you feel totally relaxed and at ease. Carry on your fabulous work Su! Thank you. jodesliz Xch

Spent a lovely relaxed day at Moon Studio Ceramics, with a fantastic tutor who helped us novices along with the challenges that come with working with clay. Great idea for a birthday gift, or a treat for yourself! Will hope to go again one day! The end creations are unique and although slightly quirky will have pride of place in my kitchen!!

I discovered some lovely tasting beers when I first called at the brewery tap room in Christchurch emporium. Neil, the brewer, is a very friendly guy who really knows his stuff, and with the more recent addition of the Tuckton tap room and The Snug near Christchurch Priory, there's more opportunities to try these superb beers. I've enjoyed something new each time I've called!

Always make a visit to the priory it’s a beautiful building with fine architecture and historical interest. Kids are fascinated with the tombs inside and the graves in the floor. You’d expect teenagers to grumble but they loved it
6. Red House Museum & Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 140 reviews
A former Georgian workhouse, the Red House is now a museum exploring the story of Christchurch from before the Ice Age to modern times. Find out about the town’s ancient past with our displays about Saxon princes and Iron Age dwellers at Hengistbury Head, then take a glimpse at life in the 19th century in our Victorian bygone gallery. In our family area, you’ll find hands-on activities and dressing-up costumes, as well as quizzes and spotter trails. There are plenty of corners to escape to at the museum, including our charming herb garden and south garden, which holds unexpected dinosaur surprises. The Red House has a charming shop with a wide selection of gifts to browse or buy and the café is the perfect setting for a bite to eat or something to drink, inside or out. Throughout the year, we also run a programme of fun, family-friendly events.

Free to enter, this is a lovely place to visit. It’s building is big, in mellow red brick, and in the past has been a workhouse and a fusee factory. A fusee is a small chain used in clock and watchmaking. There is an eclectic mix of exhibits, ranging from the prehistoric to ictorian times. There is a small shop. An exhibition room attracts varying displays of art, photography and crafts. The garden is small, but beautifully maintained by volunteers. An hour will allow you to see everything, after which, cross the road to the exquisite priory church, the longest in England, and then stroll the 200 metres to the town High Street.

First class cinema and live show venue. Therese's not many places like this around now ,so well worth a visit. The building dates back to the30's I believe, so no multiple cinema screens and one stage. Makes a change from all the multiplexes. Central in Christchurch high street.
