Southampton Camera Club

Quiet Night in Town by Kevin Wise

Southampton Camera Club (SCC) was founded in 1896 and is regarded as one of Southern England's foremost photographic clubs. We have a full programme of activities throughout the entire year.  

We are happy to announce that we are now meeting once again face to face until any further government guidance suggests otherwise.  Our programme of activities will continue each week in our hall. Please see our activities calendar. (Events Diary)

We continue to encourage visitors and invite you to contact the secretary should you wish to attend any of our face to face meetings at our hall in Copythorne.
