What visitors say
Two totally awesome events at this venue in the last couple of weeks: "Meet Fred" and Northern Soul. Amazing entertainment. Fabulous!

The Spring Arts and Heritage Centre is a standout venue—thoughtfully programmed, beautifully run, and quietly essential to Havant’s cultural life. Its events range from intimate lunchtime gigs to full-scale theatre, comedy, and heritage exhibitions. The team curates with care, offering performances and workshops that feel genuinely relevant and welcoming to all ages. Staff and volunteers are consistently kind, knowledgeable, and quietly brilliant. The café is a gentle bonus—fresh food, fair prices, and no pressure to rush. Even the museum section, tucked away but free to enter, offers a quiet depth that honours Havant’s layered history. The space itself is well-kept, inviting, and full of character. Whether you’re visiting for a show, a coffee, or a moment of reflection, The Spring holds space for real culture, real people, and real stories. A genuine asset to the town—and one I’ll keep returning to.

No good for a coffee. After being recommended to try the spring fir refreshments very disappointing. The barista took our order and we paid for it and weretold he wouldbring it over to us. He then carried on taking further orders for at least 5 minutes then started making the drinks. Our order was made up and then sat on a tray on the counter whilst he carried on making up the other orders. Our order was eventually bought to us. Why wasn't the order simply made when ordered and we could take it to our table rather than have a long wait. Our first and last visit. I've given it one star simply because you have to otherwise you cannot leave a comment.

This is a lovely little place. We watched a band play, my parents had lunch from the cafe and my grandson played in the play area. It has a really good atmosphere and the staff and happy and helpful.
