Music in The City – Weigh House & Vault
Weigh House, French Street, Southampton, Hampshire, SO14 2AU
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 on to 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.
