Whatâs Next Southampton? is a free arts, fashion and music festival for children, young people and families. Free activities and performances will spread across the square and Cultural Quarter venues.
The line-up is brought to you by six Cultural Connectors, aged 17-26 years. Theyâve explored what young people want in the city and created a colourful festival.
Enjoy indie music from Belle Dame Band as well as rap and R&B from Amy Da Silva, Leah Tolksdorf Music, and LawZzy.
Have a go at African Drumming or Bollywood Dancing. Step inside an inflatable âbrain domeâ. Join in with creative writing, theatre and music workshops. Build your contacts with creative careers talks and networking. Or test your balance with a skateboarding drop-in.
With vintage clothing to browse and a collaborative mural to colour, the square will be alive with creativity!
Youâll gain access to advance programme notifications and entry into a prize draw
The event is part of Connecting Culture, a ground-breaking project led by the University of Southampton and supported by Arts Council England, Southampton City Council and MAST Mayflower Theatre.
