Disabled dating in Hampshire

From Southampton, Portsmouth and Winchester to Basingstoke, Andover and the New Forest, meet disabled singles across Hampshire and plan a date by the water, in the forest or in town.

England

Hampshire at a glance

Hampshire fits a lot into one county: historic Winchester, the waterfront cities of Portsmouth and Southampton, the ponies and heath of the New Forest, and the South Downs to the east, with Basingstoke and Andover in the north. Good roads and rail join it all up, so meeting someone from a different town is rarely a struggle, and there are plenty of places where the ground is level and the views are worth the trip.

Coast, forest and downs

Disability dating in Hampshire, from the Solent to the north

Hampshire members are spread from the coast cities up to Basingstoke and across to the New Forest, and Disability Dates shows you the nearest of them first. When you want more choice, take the search into Dorset, Wiltshire, Sussex or over to the Isle of Wight. Winchester sits neatly between the two big cities and makes a calm, central place to meet, with a station, mostly level streets in the middle and lots of quiet cafés.

Be yourself

Dating for disabled people in Hampshire, with nothing to explain

On most dating apps you spend the first few messages wondering how someone will react to your disability. Here, everyone knows the site is for disabled people and the people who want to meet them. That frees you up to talk about the good stuff: the best chips in Southsea, the walk you always take in the Forest, whatever you are watching on telly. Mention what you need for a date, then get on with enjoying it.

First dates

Hampshire: accessible first-date ideas

Easy-going spots with level paths and places to sit. Access can change, so check on the day.

The New Forest

Surfaced, level trails around Bolderwood and Brockenhurst, mobility scooters to hire locally and ponies you can often see from near the car park.

Winchester water meadows

A riverside walk along the Itchen near the cathedral, then a mostly flat city centre full of cafés.

Southsea seafront

A long, level promenade in Portsmouth for walking and talking, with the common beside it.

Spinnaker Tower and the Historic Dockyard

Both step-free, both in Portsmouth, and good for a rainy-day plan with plenty to look at.

Mottisfont

Peaceful National Trust gardens by the River Test, with Blue Badge parking and step-free paths through most of the main garden.

Queen Elizabeth Country Park

South Downs scenery near Petersfield, with surfaced trails close to the visitor centre.

Getting about

Getting around Hampshire

The M3 and M27 join the main towns and cities, and Winchester, Basingstoke, Southampton and Portsmouth all have direct trains to London Waterloo. Isle of Wight ferries leave from Portsmouth and Lymington. Most towns and big attractions offer Blue Badge parking and step-free entrances, though parts of old Winchester are uneven. Booking Passenger Assist before you travel makes a train date across the county a simple plan.

Most of Hampshire gets its disabled person's bus pass from the county council, but Southampton and Portsmouth each issue their own. Whichever you hold, off-peak local buses in England are free.

    When the right music comes on, I love to dance! Bowling also gets me excited as does the idea of a pint at the pub. I like peace and quiet more than noisy places and calm friendly people whoo like to laugh.
