Turner Sims is the University of Southampton’s music venue, with big ambitions to build an inclusive world through the joy of live music.
Music is powerful. Spanning generations and cultures, it brings people together. That’s why we’re on a mission to connect communities through the joy of live music.
We believe music is at its most joyful when shared with others. In our venue and beyond, we create space for people to experience live music together.
