The number one go to place for arts crafts and culture. Especially on the 3rd Sunday of each month when all the studios and the square tower and round tower are open at the same time, ensuring you get to see everything on offer. Studio 13 offers free taster sessions of marbling and Turkish Ebru and sells amazing pure silk scarves, cards and originals. The canteen does fantastic food and coffee and the beach is brilliant, overall the whole place is the best kept secret in Hampshire, the perfect destination for families, young, old and everything in between!

Lovely area, lots of history, nice place to relax, plenty of parking and not too pricy (free for disabled), a couple of shops and a nicw walk along the walls themselves!

Usually I love this place but on this occasion it was like an episode of love Island. There were youngsters all over the place, clearly not social distancing, some drunk. Police were in area but were totally useless in fact they couldn't have cared any less.

Hotwalls Beach, located behind The Hotwalls Studios Arts & Crafts charming boutique under arch gift shops, is a Lovely little pebble beach hidden away between historic armourments. As the name suggests it can often feel 5° above the actual temperature 🌡 due to environment and location. A lovely place to sunbath, chill, read a book... Weekend summer eves can get a bit lively, noisier, with groups of the younger generation coming to Hangout, BBQ's, Parties etc. But all in all a lovely place to while away the hours...🏖☆☆☆☆

Nice range of little studios with art, craft, jewellery etc, from the expensive to the affordable. Got a gorgeous little ceramic daisy pendant as a lovely souvenir of our visit to Portsmouth.

Hotwalls is an mazing place,the sea on one side,which is the entrance to Portsmouth harbour , and a perfect suntrap, and the other side a lot of archways converted to cafes and art studios shops a unique place dating back to the days of wooden warships, so much history.

The Hot Walls Studios are a wonderful place to see and buy work by local artists, including jewellery, ceramics, textiles, paintings and greeting cards. There are views across the Solent and a café too. The studios are not all open every day, but on a Sunday you are sure to find some studios to visit.
