Dance comes to the Swan Centre The Swan Centre has welcomed a new business that may be unique to a shopping centre – a dance studio The Blue Butterfly Studios were opened by the then Mayor, Councillor Bruce Tennent, in April. The centre spans two floors, with three professional dance studios, complete with professional flooring, sound systems and air conditioning. It also has its own beauty salon and dancewear shop – and the onsite hairdresser, Extendables, has received a £250 start-up grant from the Council.
Indulgent Me provides coffee and cake to parents waiting for their children to finish classes. The coffee shop is also open to the public. The studios are also hireable bringing a much needed new venue to the area and will offer party packages.

The Chalet growing in popularity The Chalet, the recently launched wine bar in Eastleigh High Street, has already established itself as a mainstay of the town’s bar and restaurant scene, and is opening earlier in the week due to customer demand. The venue, that offers a unique apres-ski atmosphere, now opens its doors at 5pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, closing at 11pm.
Friday and weekend hours remain the same (noon to midnight and 10:30pm on Sundays). The Chalet offers a great wine list and excellent food, including sharing boards of cheese and charcuterie. Live music is also a big part of The Chalet’s appeal.
