Fareham Town Centre
Fareham town centre is an exciting place to be. Led by a Council determined to deliver a vibrant go-to-destination through a sustained programme of regeneration - things are moving quickly.

Fareham Live, the Council’s new community, arts and entertainment venue, opens in October 2024. With thousands of tickets already sold, the new theatre will be a major driver for increasing footfall to the town and bringing new customers for businesses. Alongside this, Fareham has a popular programme of town centre events including Artisan Markets, Bygone Fareham and an annual Christmas Light Switch On. These bring in thousands of visitors throughout the year and more events are being developed for 2025.

With the arrival of the Veto Lounge and West Street Alehouse alongside the established High Street offer of Villa Romano and Truffles, Fareham is also developing a great food offering.

Westbury Manor has great potential for an innovative operator to add to this emerging scene. The Council is keen to engage with interested parties, including independent businesses and local entrepreneurs to discuss ideas and proposals.
