WINCHESTER civic chiefs are consulting over a revamp of the Tourist Information Centre.

The city council is refurbishing the TIC at the Guildhall on The Broadway in early 2018.

The TIC will be modernised and with a remit to support the broader business life of the district.

The council's initial ideas include making the most of new, space-saving digital technology; providing a new facility for one-to-one business advice, and making more of the TIC as a ‘hub’ for business events and consultations in the future.

It aims to increase the impact of the Visit Winchester brand and ensure that the centre is a showcase for the vibrant tourism sector.

An information evening for businesses in the Winchester District will be held on Thursday August 3 from 5.30pm-7pm with a presentation at 6pm at the TIC.
