SOUTHSIDE

Southside is a multi-faceted, grassroots venue located at the southern gateway to Lincoln. Since opening in 2022, our Grade II listed building has become a vibrant home for live music, heritage and culture, breathing new life into the former St Katherine’s Church.

Our venue is operated by not-for-profit organisation; Acoustic Nations. Our team brings more than thirty years of industry knowledge in event production, alongside almost fifteen years of delivering cultural activity in Lincoln for the benefit of its community. We nurture creativity and emerging talent across a range of art forms, presenting an engaging programme that welcomes and connects with a diverse audience.

Alongside our in-house programme, Southside is available for a variety of commercial and community hires including gigs, wedding receptions, parties and conferences. If you would like to hire Southside, please fill out our Venue Hire Form and we will be in touch.

  • "Wine, pizza and live jazz. People of an impressive range of ages on their feet in the aisle, lost in and moving to the music. The fortnightly Commuter Jazz is typical of what this venue is all about."
