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.

Access to this vault is from St Simnel Street, through the Titanic Inn car park. There are steps down into the vault with a handrail. This preserved vault has floodlighting installed illuminating the ancient bricks used to form the vault creating a special, insulated atmosphere.

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. St Michael’s 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.

Care should be taken around the cemetery as there are some obvious trip hazards. Be especially careful when departing the Dissenters’ cemetery as the road is busy and you cannot be seen at the gate.
