About The Stage Door Southampton

The Stage Door is the cultural side of Southampton queer nightlife. It is a small fringe theatre and bar rather than a dedicated gay venue, but Visit Southampton specifically highlights it as a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community and its programme repeatedly includes drag brunches, cabaret and adult panto.\n\nBecause programming changes constantly, this is a venue to check by event rather than turn up expecting the same queer night each week.

What to expect

An intimate LGBTQ+-safe theatre/bar where drag, cabaret and performance depend on the current programme.

Vibes

LGBTQ+ Friendly Drag Cabaret Theatre Burlesque

Good to know

Practical tips before you visit

Check the events calendar before travelling for queer-specific programming.

Great music venue, my favourite in Southampton. Zephyr, a fresh new band, were playing.

Great venue and sound. Came to see "Ian Curtis" reincarnated in Shadowplay. Wow, what a show. It was just like 1979 again! He looks, moves and sings like Ian. Tha ks for a VERY memorable evening!

I had the best night here watching local live music (Eric Walker, The Ben Poor Project and Red Light Spies). Phenomenal talent. Cosy and quirky venue. Just a great atmosphere 👌

Booked in here randomly to see the 100 club which was a cavalry and entertainment production. Very amusing and brilliant fun. There is a bar on stage level and one level down good fun evening

We went for the first time to see fleetwood Unchained a new local band which were absolutely fabulous. The venue is quirky, has friendly staff and a fantastic vibe about it.
