A previous Bitterne Station community event
Promoting the event on social media, the hub said: "So much going on this Saturday at Bitterne Station Community Hub, come and get involved, browse our jumble sale and fundraising tables ... there is something for everyone. Bring along some coins too to support your community."
The community hub occupies Bitterne Station's former ticket office and waiting room off MacNaghten Road, which were sympathetically restored after decades of closure and are now used for meetings, events and other community activities.
