The Undercroft with live music
Heritage Open Day: An inclusive celebration of music of all genres amidst the vibrant cultural heritage of Southampton. Culminating in an annual multi-venue music festival on 13/14th September. We exist for the musicians and the people of Southampton. The Undercroft is particularly elaborate with its vaulted ceiling, carvings of human heads and large
fireplace. Traces of paint have been found in some places so the whole interior was probably once
richly painted. As the wine vaults acted as showrooms as well as stores, this might have been
designed to impress prospective buyers. The wine was mostly sold wholesale to the butlers of the
aristocracy who were sent to Southampton by their masters to buy a cask or two at a time.
