An inclusive celebration of music of all genres amidst the vibrant cultural heritage of Southampton. Culminating in an annual multi-venue music festival on 13th/14th September. We exist for the musicians and the people of Southampton.

Weigh House is one of the best-preserved vaults in Southampton, possibly designed to be used as a shop. It is the only one to have stone benches built beneath its windows onto the street. The windows are now bricked up, but the rest of the vault is constructed out of skilfully dressed limestone blocks.

Through utilising the fascinating history and heritage event in combination with our local celebration of live music, Music in The City should culminate in a totally unique experience for the people of Southampton and the wider community. Weigh House & Vault is one of 7 different vaults open especially for the event, all with their own unique character and atmosphere, elevated through the live music being performed. The live music is diverse with all types of genres and artists performing including folk, rock, sea shanties, afrobeats, choirs and more.
