God’s House Tower (GHT) is a stunning multi-purpose venue at the entrance to Southampton’s fascinating Old Town. Set within the city’s medieval defensive walls, GHT offers a unique glimpse into Southampton’s past, and after an extensive refurbishment is now enjoying its newest reincarnation as a cutting edge arts and heritage venue.We have a number of unique spaces housed in this iconic monument. From intimate wedding receptions and parties to training days and corporate events, our spaces are available to hire in combination or individually to create a bespoke event in truly memorable surroundings.Read more about our spaces below:
The Cafe & Bar
With its blend of historic and modern architectural design, The Cafe & Bar is the first stop as you enter the building through our main entrance on Town Quay Road, making it the perfect place to welcome your guests.
The Crawford Room
The Crawford Room is the perfect location for small ceremonies, drinks and speak-easy style bars. This oldest corner of the building – with its ancient wooden beamed roof – provides a dramatic backdrop overlooking the cobbled streets of the historic Old Town with views towards Town Quay.
The Main Gallery
The Main Gallery is our largest standalone space in light and airy surroundings, making it the perfect location for dinners, performance or dancing.
The Rooftop Terrace
The GHT rooftop has unrivalled views across the Southampton Waterfront, over the Port of Southampton, and some of the most historic sights in the city. You and your guests can enjoy exclusive use of this historic rooftop as luxury liners sit just yards away.
We have done our best to make sure God’s House Tower, a Grade I listed building, is as accessible as possible and that everyone is made to feel welcome. If you have guests with any other accessibility needs please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate these needs. The ground floor including the cafe/bar, library, shop and toilets are all fully accessible. The Collections and Contemporary Galleries are fully accessible by lift.
Thank you for taking the time to consider GHT to host your special day. We love opening this building up for everyone to enjoy and to see couples celebrate their special day at GHT is such a special part of my job! We can't wait to invite you into to GHT to show you around.
