Some years ago, inspired by TV Turnoff Week, and by the number of people overheard saying "Southampton's really boring", Jani and Bik began "The Hubbub" to raise awareness of all the cool things people can do in and around the city. The Art House hears about a vast amount of stuff going on, so this blog is our way to resurrect The Hubbub, so we can share what is fab out there with everyone! If you hear anything interesting, obscure, arty or groovy happening, let us know!
