The 1865

Located in the city of Southampton, The 1865 is one of the South’s newest and most versatile event venues. Formerly a working men’s club, The 1865 has recently been transformed into a unique space suitable for a variety of live events. Opening its doors to the public in late 2013, the venue has played host to a number of sell-out shows.

It should be noted that it is a bona fide venue and has not been a working men's club for many years. There is no 'membership'.

Travel:

The 1865 is situated in proximity to major travel routes, including the M3 and M27, as well as the Isle of Wight ferries (7 minute walk), Southampton Central railway station (20 minute walk or 5 minute drive), National Express coach station (15 minute walk) and Southampton International Airport (15 minute drive).

Parking:

There is plenty of reasonably priced on-road parking nearby . Outside the venue or along Bernard Street, more than 1,000 spaces within 250 metres. Note- charged times have recently changed and are now applicable up to 20:00,

7 days a week

For Solent Area Prog events I will have a printout of ticket buyers so please give me your name at the table inside the venue. There is no need to print your tickets.

Saving money on tickets

If you are at a Solent Area Prog gig I will be able to give you a receipt if you buy from me for either of the following two Solent Area Prog events. This will save you from paying any booking fees.

Most common timings for Solent Area Prog events.

Sundays : Doors 19:00, Finish no later than 22:30. Music usually starts approx 19:30

Other days : Doors 19:00 or 19:30 (please check) Finish 23:00 at the latest

All Solent Area Prog events have seating with areas where you can stand. The proportions will vary depending on the event but most will be predominantly seated. Either contact me if you need a seat reserved or use this link

Most events are at reasonable sound levels but on occasion a band member might have an especially loud drum kit or use their own old fashioned amp & speakers for monitoring. This necessitates the rest of the band to be turned up to be heard over them. If you are at an event where this becomes uncomfortable you can get earplugs at the bar.
