Steeped in history, the charming town of Havant in Hampshire embraces a rich past, from its humble beginnings as a Celtic settlement to its steady transformation into a bustling market town and later, a strategic residential hub after the Second World War. Its borough, home to approximately 125,000 people, includes diverse areas such as Hayling Island, Rowland's Castle, Waterlooville, and Langstone Harbour.

Dig a little deeper into its roots and you'll uncover a wealth of archaeological heritage, from Roman buildings to remnants of neolithic dwellings. The name 'Havant' itself is as old as time, meaning 'the spring of Hama'. Many of Havant's historical treasures have withstood the test of time, including the Grade II-listed Hall Place and the 12th century St. Faith's Church.

Not just rich in history, Havant is also a hotspot for sports, hosting several clubs including rugby, hockey, cricket, and tennis. Education thrives here too, with the recent merger of Havant College and South Downs College, forming the Havant and South Downs College in 2017.

In addition, Havant benefits from convenient railway connections, with direct trains to London Waterloo and Portsmouth Harbour, making it an attractive destination for commuters and touristic explorers alike.
