I am looking to join a book club in/near Salisbury. I am a woman in my late 20s, so preferably with members of a similar age - but not overly picky! Thanks :)

I will spend one day in Salisbury in a couple of weeks. What should I see / do / eat ? I count on your insider knowledge - give me a nice cafe or a pub and places that are really worth seeing.

Hi, I need suggestions for places to eat in Salisbury that have gluten free options - particularly light bites that aren't sugary, or takeaway breakfast items. Any ideas?

I'm also happy with any restaurant suggestions although it isn't the main focus of this post.

Best supermarket in town?

Where in salisbury can i get my blood pressure checked?

Is anyone watching this, and how are you going about this?

Is anywhere in Salisbury likely to be playing it at that ridiculous hour?

I have no relation to this restaurant, just been a few times and wanted to recommend it as it is slightly off the centre and people might not know about it.
TXIN is a fusion Texas smokehouse Indian restaurant. The meat is phenomenal and the food is highly flavoured without being spicy hot. Delicious.
I’d recommend the short ribs but you need to order those in advance.
The two owners are lovely people too.
Niche restaurants like this are few and far between and are definitely worth taking a chance on. You won’t regret it.

Was just curious if anyone knows any private clinics in Salisbury that offer the hay fever injection?

​

I have never had one before and was looking into getting the injection as my hay fever seems to be bad this year.

​

A quick Google search didn't help, and the closest place I could find that offered it was in Winchester and Southampton.

My dad has requested cannoli for Father's Day and I'm trying to find an Italian restaurant or somewhere that sells them.

hello! I'm doing some research for a story I'm writing and I wanted to ask some questions about Harcourt medical centre that I couldn't find online.

I'm not planning on using the real centre but I chose it as an inspo because it looks kind of cosy, at least from the outside. The story is set partly in Salisbury and one of the main characters is a doctor. My questions are mostly about how big the centre is, how long do you have to wait for an appointment with your GP, is there any medication shortage in the local pharmacies, stuff like that. Any other interesting tidbits of info are greatly appreciated!!

I'd be really grateful if someone who's been/worked there (or in similar places) helped me. thank you in advance!!

I have an Inner Circle Experience booked for 5:45pm on June 5th. That means I will need to find transportation for myself and my mother to Salisbury station around 7:00pm. I have tried to contact several taxi companies and the only one who responded to me told me they could not accommodate our trip. Would people local to Salisbury please share suggestions of taxi and transport companies? Thank you!

Sunday 24th May 13.00 until 17.00. 

The event allows members of the public to view some of the fascinating gardens within the close for one day only. Tickets can be purchased on the day at the pay tent on Choristers Green for £15.  

I live and work in Salisbury, and I'm giving consideration to travelling up to Stonehenge for the Solstice in June for the first time. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with what was involved and how to get the most out of it, as the main website doesn't seem to be much help 🤣

Specifically:

*Are the buses that go from the station the best way to get up there, and how early would you need to get there to beat the rush?

*What's the best way to get back to Salisbury if you are only attending for the sunset?

*Is food/drink permitted? Anything that would result in being turned away?

*Are festival chairs/blankets allowed?

*What's the general atmosphere like? Anything I should specifically bring/be prepared for?

All advice gratefully received 😊

Hi everyone, who would people recommend to hire a budget car from for a week? My sons in the army and needs a temporary hire car.

Has anyone else has Scottish gas visit their house in relation to the gas works on Wilton Road ? I had two people knock on my door this evening (Devizes Road)

It’s not long now until the fifth People in the Park, organised by Salisbury Transition City - and this year it’s even bigger with even more to do! People in the Park has rapidly become the largest eco and community event in the area.

Find out all the details here: https://peopleinthepark.org/

We have over 60 stalls ranging from large charities, such as English Heritage, the National Trust, the Wildlife Trust, and the Rivers Trust; to smaller, local community groups like the Broken Bridges Nature Reserve, Community Transport South Wiltshire, the Library of Things, Salisbury EcoHub Alliance, and Wildlife and Wellbeing.

There is also a fantastic range of local small traders and crafts people joining us. You’ll find unique items such as jewellery made from old cutlery, buttons, and denim offcuts, as well as hand-knitted and crocheted goods, hand-spun yarns for those who enjoy crafting and sustainable toiletries and household items.

There will be plenty to do on-site, including crazy golf and face painting. You could even bring along your own denim clothing to modify at the Rosie Hearts Retro Workshop. You will also be able to see the Coat of Hopes, that has been travelling around the country and take a look at the trailer for the National Emergency Briefing.

The food selection is equally fantastic: wood-fired pizza, vegan poke bowls, delicious cheesecakes, a selection of Indian dishes, and a wonderful bakery. Tea, coffee, and a range of soft drinks from Karma Drinks will also be available.

Speaking of food, we will have a donation point for Salisbury Foodbank for those able to contribute.

We are excited to host three stages this year:

• Main Stage: A brilliant selection of local artists, from Echobirds and Ribble to the Rock Choir, followed by a headline performance from 5 Nights at Adyans.
• Youth Stage: A wonderful opportunity to see the incredible young talent that Salisbury has to offer.
• DJ Stage: New for this year! Run by the Salisbury DJ Academy, there will be demos, DJ sets, and even a chance to have a go at DJing yourself.

To learn more about our efforts to make this event as "eco" as possible, check out our About page here:https://app.eventplot.com/events/68e0e3a73cfea76902cfea4c/public-website/about

It all starts at 10:30am on 16th May - fingers crossed for good weather!

Good morning all,

I will be starting to commute to central Salisbury in the coming months for a new job. I have travelled in a few times for interviews and the like, but gave myself plently of time (an hour) to spare. I am trying to gauge to time delay for traffic in the mornings as I don't really fancy turning up for work an hour early everyday!

I will be entering from the north east of the city, and can use either the A338 from Winterbourne or A345 from Old Sarum.

Anyone a regular commuter who can help?
