The 1865 Southampton reviews by real event-goers

Review of Dark

Been to several Dark events and have to say this was the best one. As always venue staff were great as were the event staff. The event itself well run and I had a great evening.

Great venue and will go again

Mark was fascinating to listen to and spoke in person after the show.

Review of Dark

Marvellous venue and well organised. Music could have been a tad softer because the event necessitated good communication, but it was an awesome experience.

Review of Dark

The dress code was changed without communication, the organiser made derogatory statements about the local community, known abusers strolled freely around the venue.

Shame the app doesn’t work

Review of Dark

The noise level high and felt overcrowded.

Review of Dark

First time visit, but came with a friend who'd been before. Had a good time and will look forward to coming back. Shame there was confusion about the dress code although I was dressed accordingly. Good vibe, lots of action on the equipment to watch and enjoy. Fun event.

Review of Dark

Great venue, with a lot going on and a great place to meet up with friends.

First time going to this event. Friends had gone before and said it was a great new event, which they'd really enjoyed.
It lived up to the hype I can gladly confirm. Saw lots of old faces for the catch up. It's nice people are travelling for this event.
Tickets cheap enough to be affordable for every event and the bar prices really very reasonable. Huge bonus, they sell tea and coffee when you've had enough to drink along with snacks not seen since I was a kid, Nik Naks and Space Invaders. It just put the cherry on top for me. Silly things that make the difference from a good night to a brilliant night.
Will definitely be returning

We loved the event and the venue, it worked for us and we would return again.

wow. probably the mostly poorly organised kink event I've ever been to. There was no dancing, no music, too much light, not enough atmosphere, the play hosts lacked any charisma, the choice of stage entertainment was shocking. A performance art piece about body dismorphia? read the room! people came to have fun, and this was not it.

Review of Laurence Jones

Good to see and hear Laurence performing again and recovering from his recent illness. Support act Brave Rival were also excellent and the venue is great for its sound.

Review of Laurence Jones

Always a great atmosphere at the 1865. Laurence Jones was in fine form. First time I've seen him for a few years but we'll worth the wait. New tracks from New album sound good. Looking forward to next event already.

Review of Laurence Jones

I've been following Laurence Jones for many years and always go along when he's performing anywhere
in Hampshire and Dorset. He gets better year after year and the band were definitely on fire at the 1865
