The annual event welcomes everyone, from experienced growers to complete beginners, and offers a friendly, accessible way to get involved in growing and biodiversity.At the heart of the event is the Seed Swap Table, where visitors can bring saved or surplus seeds to exchange. For those without seeds to swap, a wide selection will be available by donation, including seeds from the Heritage Seed Library, giving people the chance to grow unusual and heritage varieties while supporting vital conservation work.The day also offers informal growing advice and skill sharing, with opportunities to swap ideas and learn from other local growers. Yvonne’s Plants will be hosting a stall selling a wide range of plants, including herbs, vegetables, flowers, trees, and shrubs. Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust will be present with information about their local projects and how people can support wildlife through gardening and green spaces.Hot drinks, cakes, and snacks will be available from The Art House Community Pantry, along with vegetables and bread offered by donation. Entry is free, with donations supporting both the Seed Swap and the Community Pantry.What is a Seed Swap?Over the past century we have lost 97% of our vegetable varieties in the UK alone.A handful of corporations now control a quarter of the world’s entire seed market – the very same corporations that are pushing their GM ‘products’ into our homes. All the while, people who save seeds are being branded ‘pirates’ by those who try to control seeds by patenting them.Seed Swaps are a global, grassroots movement to try out another way of doing things. Southampton Seed Swap, inspired by Seedy Sunday in Brighton, has been running since 2006 every year.How does it work?In return for a donation or in exchange for seed you have saved, growers can choose seeds from dozens of traditional varieties of garden vegetables, to take home and grow. If you don't have seeds to swap, you can make a donation instead!There will also be growing advice and Yvonne’s Plants stall.The cafe will be open selling drinks, snacks, cakes and soups.11am – 2pm – free entry, donations welcome - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/southampton/southampton-seed-swap-2026-bitterne-station-community-hub-sat-14326/100001982517470121 - **Event Categories**: nonprofit, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fsouthampton-seed-swap-2026-bitterne-station-community-hub-sat-14326-tickets-1982517470121 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Southampton - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Bitterne Station Community Hub - **lat**: 50.9181948 - **long**: -1.3767989 - **full address**: Bitterne Station Community Hub, Macnaghten Road, Southampton, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: The Art House performance venue & social centre (https://allevents.in/org/the-art-house-performance-venue-and-social-centre/22556404) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/34c8aeda6a0cfe75cbc2d7f5627dacd0f70081fbd957964e41fe5ced1065ce11-rimg-w1200-h675-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1770982994 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/ff0fe0d95597e8142598aeca76fdb82410d3c3a2bd4f4ebbd4c1da2194a07013-rimg-w400-h400-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1770982994 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Bitterne Station Community Hub, Macnaghten Road, Southampton, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** The Art House performance venue & social centre - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** nonprofit, art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Southampton Seed Swap 2026 / Bitterne Station Community Hub / Sat 14.3.26 ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Southampton Seed Swap 2026 / Bitterne Station Community Hub / Sat 14.3.26", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/34c8aeda6a0cfe75cbc2d7f5627dacd0f70081fbd957964e41fe5ced1065ce11-rimg-w1200-h675-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1770982994", "startDate": "2026-03-14", "endDate": "2026-03-14", "url": "https://allevents.in/southampton/southampton-seed-swap-2026-bitterne-station-community-hub-sat-14326/100001982517470121", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Bitterne Station Community Hub", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Macnaghten Road", "postalCode": "SO18 1GG", "addressLocality": "Southampton", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "50.9181948", "longitude": "-1.3767989" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Swap seeds, get advice, buy plants!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "2026-03-14", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/southampton/southampton-seed-swap-2026-bitterne-station-community-hub-sat-14326/100001982517470121" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/southampton/southampton-seed-swap-2026-bitterne-station-community-hub-sat-14326/100001982517470121", "price": 0, "name": "Register for a reminder" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Art House performance venue & social centre", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/the-art-house-performance-venue-and-social-centre/22556404", "description": "Experience world class, fringe and local acts up close and personal in our intimate gallery space.We also have a full programme of regular groups, workshops and socials here -click here for more information about these and to visit our main website.Sign up here for our bulletin for news of upcoming events and offers." } ] } ] ```
