Portsmouth and Southampton are both large coastal cities, whilst Basingstoke, Aldershot, Andover and Winchester all fall within its boundaries. All of these have large shopping areas with a great choice of craft shops for the amateur and professional hobbyist. Although online only, The Ribbon Emporium in Hook has a fantastic choice of ribbons and accessories in many different designs.
