Music in The City – Lankester’s Vault

Lankester's Vault gets its name from the family who ran the ironworks behind Holyrood Church across the High St and leased the vault during the 19th century. Built in Bembridge stone from the Isle of Wight, many of the limestone blocks have Roman numerals carved into them to indicate the thickness of each block in inches with many of these blocks probably being reused from an earlier vault.

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. Lankester 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.
