Southside

Southside is a live music and events venue in Lincoln, set inside the Grade II listed former St Katherine's Church. Event planners can hire its characterful spaces for gigs, wedding receptions, parties, conferences and a range of community or commercial occasions. The heritage setting gives events a strong sense of place, while the venue's performance background makes it especially well suited to live music and arts events.

The Church is a flexible main space measuring 17 by 13 metres, with a 5-metre square stage. It can accommodate up to 350 people standing, 220 in a theatre-style layout or 180 in cabaret seating. Southside also offers The Auditorium, a dedicated performance space with a stage and lighting, giving organisers another option for shows and gatherings. The team welcomes enquiries about bespoke arrangements for special occasions, including wedding receptions. Civil marriage ceremonies cannot be conducted at the venue, as it is not licensed for them.

For conference and hybrid event organisers, Southside has also described facilities for filming and live streaming, including multi-camera recording and audio capture for events held on site. Accessibility information, parking arrangements for private bookings and event enquiries are available through the venue team. Located beside Lincoln's South Common, the building combines historic architecture with practical event use. Its in-house cultural programme centres on music, arts and heritage, while private and organisational hires allow planners to book the venue for their own events.
