Community Hub

We are proud hosts of the Alton Fringe Theatre, showcasing community value and the importance of performing arts. Their recent performance of ‘Things I Know To Be True’ was a hit with the community, and we look forward to welcoming them back in October for Julius Caesar!

We absolutely love having Toby with us as part of Community at HSDC; there’s a wide range of opportunities to be active, be involved, and be included – values we hold at our absolute forefront at HSDC. There are sessions at our South Downs and Havant campuses, so please get involved!
